Serial entrepreneur Pam Marrone has traveled a variety of paths in her various startup journeys in the world of biological agriculture. Her first startup, Entotech, was a biopesticide company funded by Danish company Novo Nordisk. Her second startup, AgraQuest, was acquired by Bayer Crop Science for nearly $500 million. Her third startup, ag-tech company Marrone Bio went public in 2013 and was recently acquired for $236 million earlier this year.

“I've done it all,” Marrone says. “I’ve raised angel money and then VC money. I got money from customers. I really literally looked everywhere, starting with initial friends and family in my office.”
Marrone is one of only 32 women founders to have taken her company public. Today, she advises other startup founders in the ag-tech sector. And in October, she’ll share her story at fnSummit 2022, Founders Network’s 7th annual fall conference.

Marrone is a pioneer and thought leader in agriculture. In her keynote, she will discuss how agriculture is changing rapidly to meet today’s expectations for carbon footprint reduction and environmental sustainability, along with consumer demands for transparency and sustainability in the way we produce food.


In her keynote Marrone will also cover:
-How to continuously monitor, manage and tweak company culture
-Why you should work with partners who are aligned with your mission, vision and values
-The value of raising more money than you think you’ll need
-Factors to consider before going public
