Caspian Leap for Agriculture Fund (LeAF)

With over 12 years of actively engaging in the food and agriculture sector, we set up the LeAF Fund to support innovations and breakthrough processes and technologies in food & agriculture by providing risk capital and technical assistance to primarily early-stage (seed and pre-Series A) companies.

The impact we hope to support is increased income for farmers, quality food produced with improved yields, improved agricultural infrastructure, and improved processing facilities. We can invest in enterprises engaged in any part of the food & agriculture supply and value chain with a focus on sustainable and socially responsible practices — including farming, farming inputs, sourcing, transport, processing, marketing, branding, retailing, and consumption.

The Fund is currently in its investment phase. Our portfolio includes an enterprise that empowers farmers with innovative mechanized solutions to improve efficiency and profitability; an NBFC that lends and facilitates formal credit in rural markets and connects farmer producer companies with buyers & suppliers; a bio-agri tech company that provides dairy management solutions, smart collars and other cattle health monitoring solutions, among others.
