About
Aardaia invents new crops from first principles, drawing on wild plant species that already evolved useful traits rather than incrementally modifying the same few staples. Its first crop is the aardaker, a nitrogen-fixing, tuber-forming plant being domesticated as a protein-rich crop and already grown in fields and served at restaurants. The company develops aardaker with farmers so it fits existing equipment and rotations, combining the yield potential of a tuber with the nitrogen biology of a legume.
Summary
Aardaia is an Agtech company based in Wageningen, Netherlands. It has raised $5.8M in total across 1 round, most recently a $5.8M Seed round in Jul 2026. Investors include Point Nine Capital, FoodLabs and Astanor Ventures.
