Impact thesis

Many practices and technologies that have transformed the agriculture sector over the past century have also caused significant environmental harm. BW Fusion’s comprehensive biological solutions improve crop yields while enabling farmers to reduce reliance on less sustainable, traditional crop inputs. BW Fusion manufactures and distributes biological crop nutrition products that enhance soil health, increase crop yield, and improve farm-level income. In addition, the company’s products are complemented by its proprietary software, Ag365, which uses farmer-submitted data to deliver precise agronomic insights and recommendations for product use, optimizing results and minimizing waste.

Opportunity and investment

Recent technological advances have improved the return on investment associated with biological crop nutrition products. In parallel, awareness of the agricultural sector's environmental impact continues to grow, leading to increased growth and adoption of more sustainable solutions within the industry. We believe BW Fusion is distinctly positioned to capture these market tailwinds.

“We are excited to collaborate with BW Fusion to deliver a complete solution to our farmers that fuses leading agronomy, environmental microbiology, and grower-support. Scaling BW Fusion not only helps farmers but also the environment.”

Jacob Donnelly / Partner / Double Impact

Double Impact’s late 2024 investment in BW Fusion consolidated a previous strategic alliance between BW Fusion, Biodyne, an environmental microbiology company, and Agronomy 365, a tech-enabled crop analytics and management program. As a result, our investment created a new platform that marries Biodyne’ s 30+ years of microbiology expertise, Agronomy 365’s data and software tools, and BW Fusion’s product development, manufacturing, and commercial capabilities.

BW Fusion partnered with Double Impact due to our experience investing in founder-led businesses and scaling new technologies, as well as our reputation as a hands-on partner to help build needed capabilities. We have the expertise to help BW Fusion build the necessary team, infrastructure, and processes to propel the company to the next level.

Value creation

Double Impact’s partnership with BW Fusion is off to a strong start. Together, the teams have focused on three key areas for growth:

Growth in core geographies

We are collaborating closely with the BW Fusion team to scale their go-to-market efforts and further penetrate existing and near-adjacent geographies.

Investment in product development

We are making critical investments in Ag365, as well as BW Fusion’s product development process to drive improved insights and results for BW Fusion’s customers.

Employee equity program

As part of Double Impact’s investment, BW Fusion launched the company’s first broad-based employee equity program, designed to align employee incentives to help maximize company value creation. The program, known as Crop Stock, enables employees to share in the company’s financial success as it scales in the coming years.
