Congratulations to Thad on his retirement!
As Thad Simons embarks on his well-earned retirement from the Yield Lab Institute, we want to take a moment to celebrate his visionary leadership and the lasting impact he made through YLI.?? ? As the founder and longtime Board Chairman, Thad built an organization dedicated to supporting #innovators, #entrepreneurs, and #investors —driving meaningful progress and sustainable growth in the #AgTech industry.?? ? Kyle Welborn, co-founder and general partner at Cultivation Capital, reflects on Thad’s influence:?? ? "Thad's tremendous career in #agriculture gives him a unique perspective on the industry. Early on, he recognized the global nature of the business and the need for #innovation. He founded The Yield Lab, followed by the non-profit Yield Lab Institute, and grew it into one of the most active AgTech investors worldwide. His idea has supported hundreds of AgTech startups across the globe." ? After a long and impactful career at Monsanto and Novus, and from St. Louis to international markets, Thad’s contributions have shaped the AgTech #ecosystem in profound ways. We are incredibly grateful for his #leadership, vision, and dedication. The Yield Lab Institute The Yield Lab The Yield Lab LATAM The Yield Lab Asia Pacific
