Connecta2Invest is a proactive match-making platform for startups, corporates, and investors in FoodAgriTech.
Symantra has been selected by EIT Food to launch an Investors Platform driving Food innovation. This Investors Platform focuses on the AgriFood Tech sectors across Europe. Connecta2Invest connects the most innovative and pre-vetted start-ups/scale-ups with VCs and top corporates investors.
More than a start-ups catalogue, Connecta2Invest helps VCs and Corporate Investors detect pro-actively investment opportunities - BEFORE deals get done.
On top, it is the most relevant Intelligence & Media Hub on the AgriFood Industry Trends & Growth.

TESTIMONIAL
Partnering with Symantra to develop our investment platform has been a great decision. They helped us to develop Connecta2Invest for startups-investors matchmaking, knowledge hub alongside with data management system. They perfectly addressed our need to bridge the gap between niche startups and specialised investors.
Before Symantra, we struggled with rigid, "off-the-shelf" platforms that lacked the depth required for complex venture capital workflows. In contrast, Symantra’s flexibility in feature development and meticulous attention to detail allowed us to build a truly bespoke environment. We co-designed unique features such as the startup radar and smart bookmarks.
They have provided out platform with a unique value proposition that standard platforms simply cannot match. Beyond the software, their extensive support, data migration, expertise on best practices ensured a seamless implementation and fast turn-around. I highly recommend Symantra as a B2B matchmaking and Community Platform.
