DLA Piper guided global ag tech investment firm Radicle Growth on the launch of AgRogue Growth Partners, a new platform designed to identify, fund, and scale the next generation of breakthrough technology companies for the agriculture and food value chain.
Developed in close partnership with Land O’Lakes, Inc. and select agricultural retailers, the platform reimagines how disruptive innovations can accelerate the adoption of agriculture solutions that drive growth, improve profitability, and enhance operational resilience across the sector. Radicle Growth will lead investment and strategy while working with its partners to deploy field-ready technologies quickly and broadly.
“This platform represents a new pathway for scaling agricultural technology. Our team was proud to support Radicle Growth and structure this innovative technology platform that will combine strategic capital and industry insight for growth in the sector,” said Yoni Tuchman, the DLA Piper Partner who co-led the deal team.
“This collaboration is a first-of-its-kind platform designed to accelerate innovation in agriculture,” said Kirk Haney, CEO of Radicle Growth. “By uniting our venture expertise with Land O’Lakes’s industry reach, we’re opening the door to transformative solutions that serve the entire value chain — starting with the grower. We’re grateful for DLA Piper’s strategic advice, which helped align stakeholders and ensure a strong foundation for the partnership.”
In addition to Tuchman (Los Angeles), the DLA Piper team was co-led by Partner Anil John Kalia (Palo Alto), with support from Associates Connor Moldo (Los Angeles), Reha Singh, Marina Kananova (both San Francisco), and Chiemeka Onwuanaegbule (Austin).
