Currently, Chris is a partner with Tall Grass Ventures, focused on seed stage agrifood ventures, and has been a long-term angel investor in AgTech.  He plays an active role with several companies where he serves as a board member, and volunteers a lot of his time formally mentoring early stage AgTech companies through several accelerator programs and innovation events.
