Reservoir Venture Partners: Funding, Team & Investors

Reservoir Venture Partners is a venture capital fund and operating company accelerating AgTech for specialty crops. It backs pre-seed and seed-stage founders developing "rugged AI":intelligent software and hardware systems designed for reliable outdoor operation, focusing on robotics, autonomy, and precision tools. This specialized approach addresses the unique challenges of agricultural environments, enabling advanced solutions for farming.

Managing Partner Danny Bernstein (ex-Google/Microsoft), General Partner Nicola Kerslake (private equity/VC), and Matthew Hoffman, PhD (ex-Driscoll's AgTech), lead the firm. Their founding insight recognized the critical need for agricultural innovation, driven by labor shortages and significant under-automation in specialty crop production. This collective expertise underpins their strategy to support foundational technologies in the sector.

The firm invests in early-stage startups creating non-chemical weeding, precise input, and harvest automation for specialty crop growers. Its vision centers on strengthening farms and rural economies through accelerated field technology. Reservoir aims to transform agriculture with robust, scalable "rugged AI" effective in diverse outdoor environments.
