Generation-Re

What Generation-Re does

Generation-Re (Gen-Re) is a private investment syndicate founded in 2022 and domiciled in the United Kingdom that pools capital from a community of more than 170 investors — including family offices, seasoned and new investors, farmers, entrepreneurs, and policy advisors — to make minority, follower-stage investments in regenerative agriculture and food startups globally. The syndicate deploys capital through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) on the third-party Odin platform, with a minimum ticket of $1k per opportunity and typical deal sizes between $50k and $300k across Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds, and explicitly does not lead rounds. Its stated footprint spans the UK, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and the United States.

The platform has no proprietary software or AI components of its own; its core technology is the syndicate workflow itself — pitch deck and investment memo distribution, deal decision forms, WhatsApp/email community updates, and onboarding calls managed by a Community Manager (Emily), all underwritten by Founding Partners Koen van Seijen and Naeem Lakhani. Gen-Re's distribution and deal flow advantage stem from Koen's "Investing in Regenerative Agriculture & Food" podcast (now at episode 300) and the deep operational overlap with The First Thirty (TFT) VC, which Gen-Re follows as lead investor in most deals.

Gen-Re monetises via two streams: a 20% carried interest on future investor profits (the headline success-fee model) and a 10% flat fee per investment, of which the majority passes through to Odin and the remainder supports Gen-Re operations. There is no subscription, no management fee, and no disclosed ARR; near-term economics depend entirely on deal cadence (~one every 3-4 weeks) and the eventual realisation of carried interest on portfolio exits. The only confirmed portfolio investment in the dataset is Gen-Re's participation in Antler Bio's $3.9M seed round led by The First Thirty Ventures in June 2025.

Direct peers

• The First Thirty Ventures: VC firm with overlapping founders (Koen van Seijen, Naeem Lakhani, Antony Yousefian, Saumeel Pachigar) that leads regenerative agriculture and food rounds which Gen-Re typically follows. Directly comparable thesis, team, and deal pipeline.
• AngelList (Syndicates): Leading platform for angel syndicates and rolling funds; comparable operating model (SPVs, lead-follow dynamics, carry economics) and is the closest general-purpose analog to Gen-Re's syndicate structure.
• Republic: Retail-accessible private investment platform offering community-driven deal participation with low minimums; comparable to Gen-Re's democratized, community-led investment model, though applied across a broader thesis set.
• Seedrs: Equity crowdfunding and syndication platform enabling pooled community investment into startups; shares Gen-Re's SPV-style pooling model and minimum-ticket democratization, with a broader sector mandate.
• AgFunder: Specialist AgriFoodTech VC and media platform; directly comparable thematic focus on agriculture and food startups, with a similar venture-investor orientation in the same vertical Gen-Re targets.
• Cibus Fund: Investment fund focused on sustainable food and agriculture technologies; directly comparable thematic mandate to Gen-Re and a credible co-investor or allocator in the same deals.
• Crowdcube: Retail-accessible equity crowdfunding and syndication platform; comparable community-investing model with low minimum tickets and SPV-style pooling, though focused more on later-stage and growth companies.

Broad incumbents

• S2G Ventures: Established, larger fund focused on food, agriculture, and ocean tech; a broad incumbent in the regen-ag/AgriTech category that competes for many of the same founders Gen-Re backs, but at materially larger check sizes and institutional scale.
• Synthesis Capital: FoodTech and agricultural innovation venture fund; operates in the same regen-ag/AgriFoodTech category at larger institutional scale, competing for primary allocations in similar rounds.

Emerging players

• Climate VC: Early-stage climate-focused VC network; thematically aligned to Gen-Re's regenerative-agriculture mandate via the broader climate-tech funnel and represents both a partial peer and a potential co-investor in the same founders.
