BUILT FROM YEARS OF AGRIFOOD TECH DUE DILIGENCE EXPERIENCE

The right questions for your AgriFood Tech due diligence.

Right-size your due diligence for every AgriFood Tech investment. A free tool for investors and founders, built on the technical and commercial due diligence work we run at Bright Green Partners. Answer a short set of questions about the funding stage, the segment and what you need to assess, and get a focused starting framework: what needs validating, what a previous round already covered, and where further diligence would add little.

Pick a seat to start, or jump straight to the four steps. Free, no account.

THE EXPERTISE BEHIND THE TOOL

Built on real AgriFood Tech due diligence experience

World-class domain expertise

The right depth. The right focus.

Knowing what to assess in AgriFood Tech due diligence is not always straightforward, especially if the sector is new to you. Assessing too little can leave critical gaps, while assessing too much adds unnecessary time and cost. Drawing on years of due diligence experience across a wide range of AgriFood Tech technologies, markets and business models, AgriFood Tech DD Assist helps you identify what truly needs validating.

Takes about two minutes.

The due diligence framework

Four steps to your framework

What you need

Start with the framework, not a form. Nothing about you is asked yet.

You are

What you want to assess

Funding round

Step 1 of 4

Your case

Pick the closest match. Coverage is shown honestly - where our material is thinner, we say so.

Your category

We name it in your questions and use it to decide which ones apply.
What you get with Other. Our general question set, the part that holds across AgriFood Tech, adapted to the category you name. It is not tailored the way a category we have worked in would be, because we have no prior engagements to calibrate against. For a framework built properly around your case, talk to the Bright Green Partners team.
You do not have to fill this in. The more you tell us, the more precisely we can match the questions.
Step 2 of 4

Where should we send it?

So you can download your framework and come back to it.

Confidentiality

Your details stay with us. We do not sell them or share them with anyone, and we will only contact you to send your framework and, if you opt in, with news from Bright Green Partners and FoodTech Experts. You can withdraw at any time by writing to connect@brightgreenpartners.com.

This is beta. The question set is improved on a monthly basis, so it is worth coming back here again. Tell us where it fell short and that feedback goes straight into the next pass.

Although the framework is proprietary and checked by humans, this platform has been created using an AI tool. Treat the output as guidance rather than a finished answer, and speak to an advisor before you rely on it.

Expert support

We can support your investment further

The framework is the start. Some of what it asks for cannot be closed from a data room: whether a performance figure holds at scale, whether a buyer will really pay the premium, what the regulator asked for last time. We are here for that part of the process too, in two ways.

Questions about the tool

Frequently asked

Who is AgriFood Tech DD Assist for?

Investors and founders in AgriFood Tech, and anyone else assessing a technology in the sector. Investors get the questions they should be putting to a company. Founders get the questions an investor is likely to ask, in time to prepare before the process starts.

How do I use AgriFood Tech DD Assist?

Four steps and a few minutes. Tell us who you are and whether you want technical, commercial or both; the funding round; the category; and a few sentences about the case if you have them. You get a set of assessment topics with the questions that matter for that business at that stage.

Why should I use the tool?

Because the hard part of due diligence is deciding what to look at. The tool narrows it to what you actually need - to fund a project as an investor, or to get funded as a startup - before the process starts rather than after.

What is the difference between AgriFood Tech DD Assist and a BGP due diligence project?

The tool tells you what to ask. A project answers it. In an engagement Bright Green Partners runs the interviews, builds the cost and capacity models from the bottom up, benchmarks against the field and gives you a view you can act on.

What is AgriFood Tech DD Assist based on?

This framework was developed by Bright Green Partners, drawing on years of experience conducting technical and commercial due diligence across the global AgriFood Tech sector. It combines BGP's proven methodologies and sector expertise with a deep understanding of investors' and founders' needs, informed by the questions raised through the FoodTech Experts network.

What happens with my data?

Your details stay with us. We do not sell them or share them with anyone, and we will only contact you to send your framework and, if you opt in, with news from Bright Green Partners and FoodTech Experts. Full detail is in the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, both linked in the footer.

Do I have to pay to use the tool?

No. The full framework is free to download. Deeper work, where we assess your own material against the framework or run a full due diligence, is a paid engagement and you can ask us about it from inside the tool.

What if I need more support in my investment process?

Ask from inside the tool and we will come back to you. It might be a targeted due diligence, a targeted piece of technical or commercial work, or two or three conversations with specialists from the FoodTech Experts network.

Does the framework change with the funding stage?

Yes. Seed, Series A and Series B do not get the same set. Questions that need evidence a company cannot have produced yet are held back, and the balance between topics shifts.

Which AgriFood Tech sectors and technologies does the due diligence tool cover?

AgriFood Tech DD Assist supports commercial and technical due diligence across agricultural technology and sensing, algae and microalgae, biomass fermentation, bioprocess equipment, circular inputs and fertilizers, cultivated materials, cultivated meat and seafood, insect protein, longevity and healthspan actives, novel and functional ingredients, plant-based foods and texturization, precision fermentation, and sports and active nutrition. If your AgriFood Tech investment, company or technology falls outside these categories, select "Other" to receive a general due diligence framework adapted to your case.

What if my category is not on the list?

Name it and you get the general set, the part that holds across AgriFood Tech, with the category-specific questions left out. We say so plainly on screen rather than presenting a general framework as a tailored one. If you want one built around your case, ask Bright Green Partners and we will put it together.

How many questions will I get?

It depends on the case. Each topic shows up to thirteen questions, the ones that matter most for what you described, and offers up to ten more behind a button if you want to go deeper. Where our material on a topic is thinner, you get fewer and we do not pad it.
