Strategy

Strategy

How we invest in Asia Pacific’s food and agriculture future

A purpose-built fund for the world’s most complex and consequential food system — with a global lens and regional conviction.

Our Approach

Strategy at a glance

“The food and agricultural challenges of Asia Pacific cannot be solved by applying a generic investment lens. They require deep regional knowledge, patient capital, and genuine partnership with founders who understand local realities.”

The challenge

  • 570 million smallholder farmers (75% of the global total) collectively feed 80% of Asia Pacific, yet remain underserved by capital and innovation
  • Large-scale industrial operations face labour shortfalls, falling yields, and compounding climate pressure across 30+ major crops and shrinking arable land
  • APAC accounts for 90% of the world’s farmed seafood, yet the majority of output comes from small to medium operators equally underserved by venture capital
  • More protein must come from less land, less water, and fewer hands

Our approach

  • Early-stage AgTech and FoodTech investment focused on APAC’s most pressing food and agriculture challenges
  • Operating across six interconnected sectors builds pattern recognition, enabling us to identify consequential opportunities at the intersection of disciplines
  • We source innovation globally, bringing regional depth, cross-sector expertise, and the patient capital this landscape demands

Our strategy operates across four interconnected pillars — explore each below.

Investment Thesis

Agrifood-Tech: six interconnected sectors

“We hunt for innovation globally — our startups don’t have to come from Asia Pacific, but they must be solving Asia Pacific’s most pressing challenges first.”

The Yield Lab Asia Pacific is focused on advancing innovation that drives inefficiencies out of the breadth and depth of food and agriculture systems across Asia Pacific. We invest in early-stage AgTech and FoodTech innovations addressing the APAC regions’ most critical challenges.

Given the APAC region is the epicenter of global aquaculture and TYLAP’s cross-sectoral experience, more than 50% of our active portfolio is focused on aquaculture, water quality and ocean-related technology, cementing TYLAP as one of the leading investors advancing blue economy innovation in Southeast Asia.

TYLAP Impact Framework

Our Approach

Impact embedded across the full investment lifecycle.

Step 1 — Investment Screening
Impact Intentionality and Theory of Change
  • We screen for impact alignment at entry — companies must address a material food, agriculture or ocean challenge in Asia Pacific
  • Founders articulate how their solution directly contributes to a primary impact area
  • A clear theory of change links their technology to measurable, real-world outcomes
Step 2 — Due Diligence
Impact Assessment and Value Creation
  • We assess impact potential and value creation pathways alongside financial returns
  • Companies define a 5-year impact ambition across 2–3 key indicators, mapped to the most material UN SDGs
  • Impact delivery must be structural to the business model — not an add-on
Step 3 — Portfolio Management
Active Support and Monitoring
  • Portfolio companies access TYLAP’s SME network for hands-on impact advisory and reporting support
  • Progress monitored annually against agreed indicators and each company’s theory of change
  • Insights directly inform our ongoing value creation strategy across the portfolio

Strategy · The Yield Lab Global

A global federation
of AgTech funds

Four regional funds. Four continents. One shared commitment to transforming the world’s food systems through venture capital.

The Federation

Our global partners

The Yield Lab is a federation of early-stage AgTech Funds focused on advancing innovation which drives inefficiencies out of the breadth and depth of Agriculture.

  • The federation has 10 funds with the first founded in 2015 in North America (St. Louis, USA) as the world’s first early-stage fully dedicated AgTech VC Fund
  • Followed by funds in Europe (Ireland), Latin America (Argentina) and most recently Asia Pacific (Singapore)
  • Embedded across four continents, enabling deep understanding of local market dynamics, industry challenges and regulatory environments in each region
  • Helps portfolio companies gain velocity into new markets and achieve their highest potential globally

The Yield Lab functions as a critical catalyst in the broader agricultural ecosystem, bridging innovators, investors, producers, and researchers across four global regions to accelerate AgTech innovation and drive systemic transformation via five key areas:

  • Driving investment, adoption and eliminating inefficiencies across the very broad and deep food and agriculture industries, to ensure there will be enough affordable food for all
  • Connecting stakeholders across the global agricultural ecosystem
  • Facilitating knowledge transfer and innovation across regions and disciplines
  • Catalysing regional collaboration between funds, founders and institutions
  • Creating a global innovation network that amplifies impact at every node

Additionally, The Yield Lab Institute (non-profit entity) proactively identifies and addresses white space in the AgTech ecosystem.

  • Non-dilutive initiatives, sponsored externally, open access to The Yield Lab’s global network of subject matter experts for nascent companies and entrepreneurs
  • Advances promising ventures into the venture capital ecosystem through strategic programming and partnerships
  • Assembles cross-sector partnerships, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing and AgTech ecosystem mapping across the globe
