Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the work of corporate venture funds in the agricultural sector. As part of the study, the current state and specifics of the venture investment market are assessed. Based on a comprehensive analysis, the main factors that influence the creation of a favorable investment climate and the development of agro-tech startups in Russia are identified. The goals and advantages of corporate venture funds are outlined. The strong point is the resources, experience, and consumers that the corporation has at its disposal. This provides additional opportunities and value to the startup, allowing it to find applications for the technology it is developing and test it by integrating it into existing production chains. The purpose of the study was to examine the experience of organizing and operating corporate venture funds, both in the agricultural sector and in other areas of the economy. The author concluded that the creation of funds requires a key element: an innovation management department that is deeply integrated into the company's business processes and capable of identifying its weaknesses. In corporations and agricultural holdings, it is necessary to encourage the creation of internal investment funds and the associated infrastructure that can develop innovative projects and provide funding for them.
