He has assembled a strategic cap table of 100% agribusiness players including CNH, Suzano, ATVOS, The Yield Lab Latam, and Colorado Ventures.
Under Johann's leadership, BemAgro raised over R$50 million (approximately $10M USD) including a recent R$30.3 million Series A led by The Yield Lab Latam. The company tripled revenue between August 2024 and February 2025, secured R$35 million in contracts with strategic investors, and expanded operations to 12 countries across Latin America and Southeast Asia.
BemAgro has processed over 5 million hectares of farmland and helps farmers reduce herbicide use by 70-80% while increasing productivity by 7.5%. The company aims to reach 10 million hectares under management by 2032 and plans U.S. market entry in 2027.
