🌿 Halfway through 2026, and what a year it’s been for us so far.
Over the past six months, we've continued to strengthen our mission: helping accelerate the development of crop varieties that can thrive in a more challenging and unpredictable world. 🌍
So far this year, we've:
✅ Announced a $7m grant from the Gates Foundation
✅ Raised €9.7M in seed funding from LIFTT (Lead), Agri Investment Fund, PINC, Corteva Agriscience, Maia Ventures, and VIB
✅ Launched a brand new website (check out rainbowcrops.com 👀)
Not bad for H1!
Behind every milestone is a shared goal: enabling the next generation of resilient, high-performing crops that can support both farmers and food systems in the decades ahead.
There's plenty more to come in the second half of the year, so stay tuned.
🤝 Thank you to our team, partners, investors, and supporters for being part of the journey.
