The Investment Thesis
For Agritech, the next unicorns in CEE won't grow crops better—they will fix the financial plumbing of insolvent farms.
Regulatory Tech beats B2C SaaS.
⚠️ Why CEE is Different
- No "Copy-Paste": US models assume farmer liquidity. In CEE, liquidity is gone. Discover why local "Zombie Farms" require a completely different monetization strategy (The Plumber Model).
- Regulatory Whiplash: CEE is the frontline of the clash between EU Green Deal mandates and Eastern market realities. This creates unique "Compliance Pressure" not found anywhere else.
