Soilworks Natural Capital

What Soilworks Natural Capital does

Soilworks Natural Capital is a San Antonio-based Public Benefit Company founded in 2020 by Ed Byrne and Lew Moorman that operates as an investor and operator of regenerative agriculture businesses. Rather than building a single product, Soilworks acquires and runs a portfolio of B2B companies spanning the full regenerative grazing value chain: rancher tools (Range Ward, Powerflex Fence), grazing management software (Pasture Map), ranch leasing (Grazing Lands), whole-animal butchery and distribution (Cream Co. Meats), regenerative grass-fed beef consumer brand (Wholesome Meats), nature-based carbon credit marketplace (Grassroots Carbon), and algae-based soil and nutrition products (True Algae). Across these wholly-owned subsidiaries the group manages 7M+ acres of grazing land and employs 300+ people, while the parent itself is a small (1–10 employee) coordinating entity.

The company's underlying technology is explicitly nature-first rather than software-first: Soilworks frames "managing ruminants and photosynthesis" as its core technologies and emphasizes natural solutions over technology. The closest thing to a software platform is Pasture Map, a self-serve grazing management product, and Grassroots Carbon, a marketplace for independently certified carbon credits. Portfolio companies operate independently but share centralized back-office services — finance, accounting, recruitment, legal, HR, and corporate development — which Soilworks describes as a portfolio ecosystem model.

Soilworks' business model is that of a holding and operating company: it acquires controlling stakes in regenerative ag businesses, reinvests profits back into growth with low to no debt, and supplements its own capital with mission-aligned co-investors such as Builders Vision, Desert Bloom, and Schmidt Family Foundation. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting regenerative rancher and buyer customers, while subsidiary-level distribution runs through direct sales (Range Ward, Powerflex Fence, Cream Co. Meats, Wholesome Meats), e-commerce/PLG (Grassroots Carbon, Pasture Map), and government grant capture (USDA). Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
