About Purdue Ag-celerator

Purdue Ag-celerator is a $2 million university-backed fund launched in December 2015 under the Purdue Moves initiative to help Purdue innovators commercialize patented intellectual property in plant sciences and agricultural technologies. Its investment thesis targets early-stage startups that develop Purdue technologies in crop optimization, seed development, precision agriculture, and now all agricultural disciplines. The fund typically makes small checks, such as a verified $100,000 investment in a pathogen detection company, and operates as a follow-on supporter rather than a lead venture investor. Notable portfolio companies include Omnivis Tech, a pathogen detection firm that received funding from the Ag-celerator, though the fund’s portfolio is primarily composed of university spinouts rather than external commercial ventures. The program accepts applications through semiannual competitions requiring a business concept description and pitch deck, emphasizing internal university technology transfer over traditional venture capital deal sourcing. Unlike independent venture firms, Purdue Ag-celerator does not publish a distinctive public investment philos
