Mycelium

What Mycelium does

Mycelium is a Belgium-based (Ixelles) private investment fund that connects return-oriented investors with European farmers practicing regenerative agriculture. Founded by Quentin Werrie, Mathieu Poma, and Jeroen Klompe — three operators with decades of private equity experience — the company runs a single investment vehicle, the Mycelium Investment Fund, which deploys capital into farm operations while providing data insights, science-based expertise, and community support to its farming partners. The fund targets uncorrelated real assets in natural capital, offering investors long-term secular returns from compounding value with regular liquidity windows.

The underlying business model is managed investment services. Mycelium sources, funds, and supports regenerative agriculture projects across Europe, with stated outcomes including improved soil health, biodiversity enhancement, carbon storage via perennials and tree crops, and higher farm profitability through practices such as no-till. No proprietary technology platform, pricing tiers, minimum investment amounts, or fee schedules are publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics are presumed to follow standard fund-management economics (management fees and/or carried interest) but are not confirmed in available materials.

The company serves two primary customer segments. On the capital side, return-oriented investors seeking diversification into natural capital and ESG-aligned real assets; on the deployment side, European farmers and 'land stewards' seeking capital, expertise, and community to transition toward regenerative practices. Distribution is entirely direct: a Squarespace-hosted website (mycelium.ag) with dual onboarding CTAs ('Become an Investor' and 'Become a Partner'), a generic inbox ([email protected]), and LinkedIn profiles for the three founders. No intermediary channels, channel partners, or app distribution are present, and the operating model relies on assembling ad hoc expert teams in soil restoration, crop management, and go-to-market rather than a large internal staff.
