Climate and energy · Agritech deck
Agritech pitch decks that start with the farmer's economics.
Farmers adopt what pays. The deck should show what your product earns or saves per acre or per animal, with field evidence.
Fixed prices. No calls: you brief us in writing and comment in writing.

Yield per acre, trial against control

How it differs
How an agritech deck differs from a general pitch deck
A general startup deck can show monthly growth. An agritech deck runs on seasons, so evidence arrives once a year and sales cluster around planting and harvest. Investors look for results from real farms across sites and seasons, not lab or greenhouse data. They also ask who pays, because co-ops, processors and input companies often buy on the farmer's behalf. Registration can gate sales of biologicals and crop inputs. And the deck must explain working capital, since inventory is built months before the farmer pays.

The questions behind every slide
What readers of an agritech deck ask
Each answer names the slide or document where it belongs. If a question has no home in your deck, the reader will ask it in writing, or stop reading.
- 1
Were field trials replicated across sites, and who ran them?
The field results slide should state the number of sites, the seasons and whether a third party ran the trials. Raw trial data goes in the field trial appendix.
- 2
Do farmers buy again the next season?
Show reorder or renewal by farm on the traction slide. Repeat purchase says more about value than first-season sales.
- 3
Who actually pays: the farmer, a co-op, a processor or an input company?
The distribution slide should name the payer for each channel, since others often buy or subsidize products on the grower's behalf.
- 4
What regulatory registration does the product need, and where?
A regulatory slide lists each approval by jurisdiction with its status. The regulatory strategy document supports it.
- 5
Does it work across soil types, climates and crops?
A map or table of trial sites by region and crop shows how far the results reach. Gaps should be named on the same slide.
- 6
How much working capital does the seasonal cycle use?
The financial plan should show cash by month, with inventory built before the buying season and payments arriving after harvest. A monthly cash chart in the appendix shows it.
- 7
Who owns the farm data, and how is it used?
One line on the product slide states the data terms. Farmer agreements go in the data room.
- 8
Do you have freedom to operate on the core technology?
The IP line on the technology slide lists patents filed and granted and any licenses you rely on. Supporting opinions stay in the data room.
Headline rewrites
Slide titles that say something.
A reader skims headlines first. A label tells them the topic; a sentence tells them the point. Bracketed figures are placeholders for your own numbers.
