Converte: Investment and Partnership Opportunity for High-Performance Biostimulant Technology
Opportunity for
- Strategic investors and impact funds supporting scalable ag-biological technologies
- Agricultural distributors and input partners seeking proven biological formulations for local or international markets
- Research institutions and RDCs focused on regenerative agriculture and soil health validation
- Innovators with compatible data, traceability, or carbon measurement tools
- Government and ecosystem supporters accelerating sustainable input transitions
Opportunity description
Industry challenge
Producers globally face rising fertiliser costs, soil degradation, and yield losses from drought and heat stress. At the same time, regulators and consumers are demanding measurable sustainability outcomes. There is a need for revenue-proven biological alternatives that reduce chemical dependency, improve soil function, and deliver economic returns at scale.
Current opportunity
Converte Pty Ltd, an Australian agricultural biotech company, has developed and commercialised mineral-microbial biostimulants that lift crop yield by 5–22%, increase soil biology by 40–60%, and improve water-holding capacity by up to 88%.
Converte is now raising growth capital to expand its B2B distribution model and accelerate international market access. The company has signed distribution and trial agreements across India and Malaysia and is in discussion with additional partners in South Asia and the Middle East.
Validated by independent research from Western Sydney University and leading producers such as De Bortoli Wines, Converte is revenue-generating in Australia through direct farm sales and pilot B2B programs, and is seeking:
- Strategic or impact investors for Series A expansion (targeting Asia-Pacific scale)
- Co-manufacturing and white-label partners in international markets
- Institutional collaborators to extend efficacy research and soil data frameworks

Opportunity background
Headquartered in Griffith, NSW, Converte was founded in 2014 and has completed 100+ independent trials across broadacre, horticulture, and viticulture systems. Peer-reviewed studies confirm improved crop yields and microbial resilience under drought conditions (Journal of Sustainable Agriculture & Environment, 2024).
With early-stage international agreements in place and a growing base of Australian revenue, Converte is positioned to become a leading exporter of science-based biostimulant technology from Australia to Asia and beyond.
