AgLaunch365 Opens Applications for 2026 Agricultural Tech Innovators

AgLaunch has announced the opening of applications for the 2026 cohort of its innovative AgLaunch365 Accelerator program, which aims to propel emerging agricultural technology startups. Unlike traditional accelerators, this program immerses entrepreneurs directly into real-world farming environments, collaborating closely with a broad network of farmers managing extensive land and diverse crops and livestock. Selected startups will benefit from a $100,000 initial investment, opportunities for additional funding, and access to a national farmer network for insights and co-development. They will conduct on-farm trials, utilize valuable farm data, and receive expert guidance to refine their technologies. The program emphasizes early-stage companies developing advanced systems such as autonomous equipment, regenerative biological inputs, data platforms, region-specific innovations, and scalable robotics. Participants are expected to commit to iterative development, engage in hands-on testing, and aim for system-wide impact in agriculture. The application deadline is September 15, 2025, with an initial challenge event scheduled this fall in Memphis, Tennessee. Interested entrepreneurs...
