On February 16th, Hectar accelerator kickoff took place during a day of pitching, workshops and networking at the Hectar Campus... A look back at this inauguration in numbers and images!
The accelerator startups Hectar in figures is:
- 135 applications,
- 3 days of jury
- 11 startups accelerated which we are super proud:
6 startups #Agtech: Alvie, TOUTI TERRE (Hectar S1), RGX Systems, Kuupanda (Hectar S1), APTIMIZ (Hectar S1) and MyEasyFarm
3 #AgricultureRegenerative startups: MYCOPHYTO, agriodor (Hectar S1) and TerraTerre (Hectar S1)
2 #Foodtech startups: Nudj and BioDemain
- €12M: the total amount raised by these 11 startups
- 10 employees on average
- 3.5 years of existence on average
But beyond the numbers,accelerator is also a story of ambition: the ambition to improve the working conditions of farmers, the ambition to offer healthy food to consumers, the ambition to create value in a sustainable way while respecting the environment.
It is also a human adventure, where Hectar realizes its vocation as an agricultural ecosystem by creating synergies: all day long, startups, VCs, partners, learners, mentors were able to meet and exchange, to co-construct the future of agriculture and food.
A big thank you to all our partners who made this adventure possible: TIMAC AGRO France - Naturalia France - Parfums Christian Dior - Sucden Ventures
