"Five years ago, CNH was in a different position and at risk of missing out on the booming agtech startup scene. They got stuck, and they couldn't really build a pipeline of successful transactions," Lombardi told TechCrunch.
"When we started, we knew we had very limited reach. We had no network." This initial challenge informed a strategic pivot towards engaging with the startup ecosystem.
