Convent Capital Agri Food Fund invests in Computomics

Deal terms as reported in the coverage below.

Decision brief

What changed

German agritech company Computomics raised €6.3 million in Series B funding, led by Convent Capital Agri Food Fund (€5 million), supported by existing investors and EU funding, to scale commercial deployment of its ML-based ×SeedScore climate-smart plant breeding platform.

Why it matters

This signals continued investor appetite for AI applications in agriculture, specifically in using genomic/ML models to predict crop performance under climate stress—relevant to food security and supply chain resilience planning. For companies in agri-input, seed, or food supply chains, this points to emerging tools that could affect breeding cycles and crop risk assessment, though the round's small size limits immediate market-wide impact.
