AGTools and Zero Energy Developments Featured on Go Fund Yourself, Highlighting Investment in Sustainable Innovation

Cheddar TV's Go Fund Yourself series continues to feature ventures addressing critical economic challenges, with Season 3, Episode 3 spotlighting AGTools and Zero Energy Developments. The show provides startups national visibility, access to industry leaders including Rory Cutaia, Jayson Waller, and David Meltzer, and exposure to equity crowdfunding opportunities, creating a pipeline for investors seeking early-stage companies with market traction.

AGTools, led by CEO Martha Montoya, addresses the agricultural sector's digital gap by providing a real-time platform that aggregates government and institutional data on more than 500 fruits, vegetables, and commodities. Agriculture represents over $1.3 trillion of the U.S. economy but remains one of the least digitized industries. The platform enables growers, distributors, and retailers to reduce spoilage, forecast demand, and improve pricing decisions, with early adopters reporting multi-million-dollar gains. As the specialty-crop market faces volatility from climate change and supply chain pressures, AGTools positions itself as critical infrastructure for the $5 billion agricultural data market. AGTools will be raising capital on NetCapital, with more information available at https://www.agtechtools.com/.

Zero Energy Developments, founded by Armando and Anita Ortega, builds homes designed to operate fully off-grid by integrating solar power, battery storage, and AI-driven energy management systems. These residences exceed both Zero Energy and Energy Star standards, addressing rising energy costs and climate volatility that are accelerating demand for sustainable housing. The model offers recurring revenue potential through energy optimization services while meeting urgent housing needs in markets where resilience and efficiency are increasingly essential. For investors, Zero Energy Developments represents an early entry into a sector poised for double-digit growth over the next decade.

Go Fund Yourself distinguishes itself by combining visibility, validation, and capital access, allowing founders to demonstrate proof points to a national audience and gain insights from industry leaders experienced in scaling businesses. By featuring companies like AGTools and Zero Energy Developments, the series highlights where investor capital is flowing: into data-driven efficiency platforms and sustainable infrastructure.
