Reservoir VC

Reservoir VC is a venture capital firm dedicated to accelerating the future of agricultural technology and specialty crop farming. The firm focuses on early-stage investments in AgTech startups, particularly those developing solutions in robotics, autonomy, precision tools, and AI-enabled SaaS platforms tailored for specialty crops. By providing initial pre-seed funding, Reservoir VC empowers startups to join Reservoir Farms, an on-farm incubator that offers advanced testing facilities and real-world environments for product development.

The firm's investment strategy emphasizes capital efficiency and rapid scaling. Reservoir VC operates a disciplined investment framework that helps founders build capital-efficient companies, leverage AI and existing platforms for accelerated innovation, and scale validated solutions toward faster, higher-quality outcomes. This approach is designed to compress time and empower startups to succeed by connecting them with the resources, networks, and opportunities they need to thrive in the agricultural technology sector.

In October 2025, Reservoir VC expanded its capacity to invest and accelerate early-stage AgTech innovation by naming Dr. Matthew Hoffman as General Partner. Dr. Hoffman, formerly global R&D, AgTech, and digital transformation lead at Driscoll’s, is guiding the growth and development of Reservoir’s investment arm. This strategic move underscores Reservoir VC's commitment to advancing agricultural technology, sustainability, and grower success through targeted investments and hands-on support for emerging AgTech companies.
