Inari Raises $144 Million, Paving Path to Long-Term Growth
Inari, the SEEDesign™ company, announced the completion of a $144 million fundraise fueled by the performance of its first-generation products and progress toward commercialization. With cumulative equity raised of more than $720 million, the new capital underpins the leading pure-play seed technology company’s financial strength and paves the way for long-term growth. The fundraise attracted significant support from new investors, who represented most of the capital raised in the round - including a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), and a large financial investor collaborating on forthcoming agriculture projects. Existing investors including Hanwha Impact, NGS Super, the State of Michigan Retirement System and company founder Flagship Pioneering also contributed.
Inari is at the forefront of breeding innovation, combining AI-powered predictive design with an unmatched multiplex gene editing toolbox to deliver step-change outcomes. The company is singularly focused on seed technology for large-acre crops with its first wave of products, and its progress in soybeans, corn and wheat to date is generating excitement from seed companies both within and outside the U.S. The company brings a unique approach to the seed industry by focusing purely on innovation and operating an asset-light business model that reflects the company’s commitment to supporting, not rivaling, its customers.
