In the two years since its Series A, Rize has scaled operations more than tenfold.
Rize, a Singapore-headquartered agri-tech platform, today announced the close of a $31 million Series B funding round, comprising $20 million in equity and $11 million in debt financing. The round brings together a coalition of climate-focused and development finance investors who intend on helping scale Rize’s model across Vietnam, Indonesia, and the wider region.The equity raise is led by BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, and joined by The Rockefeller Foundation, alongside renewed commitments from existing investors Temasek and Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Debt financing is catalysed by BIDV, Temasek Foundation, and UOB.The raise brings Rize’s total funding to date to $47 million, and will be deployed across export expansion, AI-powered tools for farmers and field teams, carbon and innovation initiatives, and organisational growth. In the two years since its Series A, Rize has scaled operations more than tenfold.The Series B will fund strengthening market linkages into export markets, scaling up AWD adoption and MRL compliance, doubling down on innovation and modern farming practices, expanding into new markets across borders and opening the platform to new ecosystem partners.Rize emerged in late 2022 from a shared vision between Temasek, 100x100 and Breakthrough Energy Ventures, with 100x100 playing a key role in the early-stage build. The company now works with 17,000 smallholder farmers across over 50,000 hectares in Vietnam and Indonesia, with a team of 250 people on the ground across technology, agronomy, and field operations.“We see our investment in Rize as reflective of our conviction that capital deployed into high-impact, durable platforms in underserved markets can deliver meaningful and measurable environmental outcomes to help address climate challenges.” — Alexandre Martin-Min, Head of Natural Capital & Impact Investments, BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts.Published on July 16, 2026
