Show jumping can teach a person plenty about venture capital.
In show jumping (VC Agtech), where horses (startups) are racing (solving farmers problems) against a clock where time (money) is running out to navigate many challenging obstacles (regulatory hurdles, finding customers, and developing a sustainable business model), the horse (founder) has a personality of their own; the team must get to the end without too many mistakes (penalties) against you or your ride = zero.
There are some winners though, and big winners at that.
For Wilson Acton, Managing Partner at Tall Grass Ventures, a unique venture capital fund out of Alberta focused on agricultural companies, so far they've sifted through 160 companies to find 6 that could be winners.
Hear how Wilson applies the lessons learned as a 5th generation farmer, competing in show jumping, and a career as an M and A lawyer to helping agricultural startups in his stable on this episode.
