The “why” behind agriculture’s push for innovation.

A child and a horse in a quiet moment of trust is a reminder that food, fiber, and rural communities are built on relationships first, technology second.

For AgTech startups, that order matters. Success will belong to the teams that deeply understand production agriculture, the seasonality of risk, and the realities of people who live with weather, animals, and land every day. If a product does not solve a clearly defined, real-world pain point on the farm or ranch, it will not earn a place in moments like this.

The most impactful technologies will be those with a sharp view of where they fit in the value chain, how they generate measurable ROI, and why they deserve adoption in an industry that does not have time or margin for guesswork. Clear customer definition, clear use case, clear economics.

That is exactly where Horizon Venture Management operates. Sitting at the intersection of agriculture and innovation, Horizon helps founders refine product–market fit, validate on-farm value, and communicate in the language that producers, integrators, and strategic partners actually use.

If you are building an AgTech company for 2026 and beyond, and you want to ensure your vision is grounded in real agriculture instead of theory, let’s talk. Horizon Venture Management exists to bridge the gap between great ideas and durable impact in the pasture, barn, and boardroom.

My Collaborator's Feedback

"Working with Jared for four years was an extreme pleasure. His expertise in the industry and out-of-the-box thinking led to many new and innovative ideas that led our team to success. One of the aspects of working with Jared I appreciated the most was his way of building people up. Whether it was creating an inviting and fun environment you WANTED to work in or mentoring in leadership and development, people and teammates were always at the forefront of Jared's priorities."

"Jared Wareham always exceeds expectations.

He is a high performing expert, crossing over multiple segments of the industry with knowledge, wisdom, passion, and most importantly: integrity.

Our projects required a high level of trust. Jared's supreme levels of emotional intelligence and leadership were both needed in these projects and demonstrated at a high, professional level.”

"Jared and I became acquainted through our professional roles, but have become friends much thanks to our shared mindset focused around continuous learning, networking and can-do attitude. If you have a business that is trying to navigate its next move, give Jared a call and pick his brain! You won’t regret it."

“Working with Jared Wareham has been an absolute pleasure.

His integrity and work ethic stood out from day one, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

Jared is not only knowledgeable but also truly dedicated to doing things the right way. We appreciate his professionalism and commitment, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. Highly recommended!”

“I worked with Jared for more than 4 years and found him to be genuine, team-oriented, innovative and laser-focused on ensuring he was delivering customer value, while maintaining his integrity and the integrity of the business.  

Jared has a wealth of knowledge about the US beef industry and extensive experience up and down the supply chain, but he maintained his curiosity and never stopped looking for ways to improve products, services and the customer value proposition.  

His wide network ensured that Jared could tap into a knowledge base of big thinkers in our industry, which was an important force multiplier in building new business models.

I have a lot of respect for Jared and know that he has much to contribute to building better businesses and a stronger industry.”

Global Director of Sustainability
“Jared worked for ABS in North America for four and a half years in the position of Global NuEra Business Development manager.

This was a complex, pioneering role focused on monetizing bulls and embryos from our proprietary NuEra program.

During this time he was able to switch the business model from the ad-hoc sale of bulls to multiple small customers to a focused Key Account approach.

This involved developing a substantial win-win relationship with a significant new partner. He was also successful in developing our business in New Zealand and Australia by pioneering the sale of elite embryos to new cooperator partners.

Jared is a hardworking, results focused individual with deep family values. He has a very good understanding of the US beef industry plus a very strong network.

He is entrepreneurial, driven and prepared to take calculated risks. I would absolutely hire or work with Jared again in the future.”

“Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of getting to know Jared both professionally and personally.

He is a truly exceptional leader, demonstrating qualities such as accountability, effective execution, strong communication, selflessness, and an extraordinary ability to empower others.

Jared upholds the highest values of honesty, integrity, and extreme ownership within the professional agriculture industry.

Additionally, Jared excels at "connecting the dots" when it comes to team building, networking, strategy and mentorship.

He has served as an invaluable mentor to me, extending lessons that have profoundly impacted both my career and personal life.

I hold him in the highest regard and have no doubt that his passion for this industry and for helping others is boundless.”

“I had the pleasure working alongside Jared for two years and he is one of the good ones.

He never compromised his moral integrity and was always genuine. My only regret was not working closer with him over those two years.

I look up to Jared in a lot of ways. He is one of those few guys in this industry that we as young professionals need as an example.

We could follow the traditional path of those before us and this industry will never change. 

Jared is the change this industry needs. Thank you, Jared, for being an excellent example to me and many others of how to build your career in this industry while maintaining your core moral values and more importantly, an example of an excellent father.

It was a pleasure working with Jared while I could and I’m excited to see where his career takes him next.”
