Our Founders

Eric Hagstrom

Co Founder & Chief Executive Officer

In 2017, I co founded Impello Biosciences to help farmers grow better food. We develop and manufacture novel biological inputs that enhance plant performance. Through this journey, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how companies scale—from product innovation and operational management to global go-to-market strategies, sales and marketing approaches, and building strong teams and cultures.

Since then, I founded Franny Amare, where I'm deeply passionate about investing, owning, and helping build impactful and profound organizations. My approach blends a love of history and technology, entrepreneurship-in the trenches know how, and forward-thinking. It’s this awesome mix of learning from the past, getting excited about the future, and staying hands-on in the game every single day.
