History
In 2016, early Google executive David Friedberg began talking with Google co-founder Larry Page about a way to build and finance more startups focused on food, agriculture, the environment and life sciences. Through parent company Alphabet, Page agreed to help finance a holding company that Friedberg would operate. Friedberg founded The Production Board (TPB) in 2016.

TPB works with scientists, entrepreneurs, and business experts with the objective of solving the biggest problems facing humanity, including climate change. TPB portfolio businesses include Pattern Ag, Ohalo, Culture Biosciences, Triplebar Bio, Supergut and Cana. In July 2021, Friedberg announced that The Production Board raised $300 million from Alphabet, Baillie Gifford, Allen & Co., BlackRock, Koch Disruptive Technologies and Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global.
