About This Fund
McWin Food Tech Fund I is a €250 million venture capital vehicle launched by McWin Capital Partners in June 2022, focused exclusively on the food technology and agtech sectors. McWin Capital Partners was co-founded by Henry McGovern, founder and former CEO of AmRest Holdings, and Steven K. Winegar, a veteran food service entrepreneur, who bring decades of hands-on operational experience and founder networks to early-stage and growth-stage companies disrupting how the world produces, processes, distributes and consumes food.
The fund targets 15–20 portfolio companies spanning the full food value chain — from agricultural inputs, precision farming and agtech innovation through food production, supply chain logistics and consumer-facing food brands and delivery platforms. Capital commitments come from institutional investors, family offices and high-net-worth individuals who share McWin's thesis that sustainable innovation across the global food system represents one of the defining investment opportunities of the coming decade. McWin Capital Partners also manages the Food Ecosystem Fund (€260 million, 2021 vintage), focused on food service operations and hospitality, creating a complementary platform covering both food technology and food service at scale.
McWin Food Tech Fund I is closed and deploying capital across its portfolio. Investments include The EVERY Company (precision fermentation proteins), EcoRobotix (AI-powered precision spraying robots for sustainable agriculture), Elephantskin (sustainable protective workwear), Flat Iron (London-based premium steak restaurant group, majority investment co-led with TriSpan), Nuritas (AI-driven bioactive protein discovery platform) and Catcher (last-mile food delivery logistics). The portfolio reflects McWin's conviction that technology-driven sustainability will reshape every layer of the food industry.
