Lab alum Regenera Ventures has secured USD 7.6 million in committed capital for its first-of-a-kind fund supporting regenerative agriculture in Mexico. The milestone comes amid a broader pullback in climate finance, with Regenera demonstrating resilience in attracting new catalytic and private investors, including 2X Global, Shambala, and Innovaciones Alumbra.

Regenera, which received support from the Lab in 2024, invests in local farmers and businesses advancing regenerative practices that restore soils, protect biodiversity, and strengthen rural livelihoods. The fund is now working toward a USD 10 million first close and preparing to close its first investment in a Mexican biological crop treatment company.
