Acre Venture Partners
Agriculture technology venture fund investing in companies transforming how food is grown and distributed.
Acre is what happens when two solid Bessemer partners decide to go boutique — and it's worked out pretty well. Kuder and Zeplain have real pattern recognition in B2B software and actually understand the products they're backing. They're not trying to be the loudest VCs on Twitter, but they've quietly built a strong portfolio of companies that actually make money. The downside? They're still relatively small, so don't expect them to lead your Series B. But for early-stage founders who want investors who get the technical details and won't micromanage, they're a solid choice.
