We\u2019re proud to announce follow-on investments in three of our portfolio companies: Corvus Drones<\/a>, Growficient<\/a>, and Fresh IQ<\/a>. Each of these ventures is entering a new phase of growth, and we\u2019re excited to continue backing their innovative solutions in agri- and horticulture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corvus Drones<\/strong> 
Corvus Drones, a pioneer in autonomous crop monitoring with drones, has raised new capital from Navus<\/a>, OostNL<\/a>, Value Factory Ventures, and a group of angel investors. Corvus offers growers and breeders an automated solution for crop monitoring through autonomous drones and AI-powered image analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This investment will enable the company to further develop key AI technologies in-house and accelerate the rollout of its growth strategy. In addition, Value Makers is supporting Corvus in refining its sales and marketing strategy, to strengthen Corvus\u2019 market positioning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support from these investors reflects strong confidence in Corvus\u2019 direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growficient<\/strong> 
Together with BarUni and several angel investors, we have also made a follow-on investment in Growficient.<\/a> Growficient develops sensor technology for data-driven irrigation in greenhouse horticulture. At the same time, the company is expanding its management team with Hubert Keller joining as co-director alongside Dirk Jan Mulder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strengthened team and new funding mark the beginning of a new growth phase for Growficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh-IQ<\/strong> 
Value Factory has participated in a new investment round in Fresh IQ<\/a>, led by Nector, part of Hall’s Group (Nector Group<\/a>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh IQ empowers companies in the floriculture and fresh produce sectors to work smarter through a data platform offering intelligent solutions for operations and market insights. We are excited to support Fresh IQ in this next phase and strongly believe in their innovative approach and growth potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
