Investing in the Future of Foods
Nicoya is a future foods investor – investing at the frontier of food innovation. We partner with ambitious entrepreneurs transforming how food is produced and consumed — building healthier, smarter, and more resilient food businesses with long-term value creation at their core.
A Food System in Transformation
The global food system is under growing pressure. Rising health challenges, climatestress, and fragile supply chains are exposing the limits of legacy food production — while creating unprecedented opportunity.
As consumer demand for healthier foods accelerates, technology reshapes production economics, and food security becomes a strategic priority, the convergence of these forces is driving a structural shift in where value is created in food. This is a decisive moment for long-term capital to back system-level change.
Our Investment Thesis
Nicoya targets the food system transformation from both sides of the value chain, unlocking compounding value creation through two focused and complementary investment verticals.
