The August 21st episode of Go Fund Yourself on Cheddar TV delivers another high-octane blend of innovation, inspiration, and investment potential. Now in its third season, this hit reality-entertainment show continues to blur the lines between prime-time television and startup deal-making, bringing entrepreneurs face-to-face with world-class titans who know how to scale companies and spot game-changing ideas.

Season 2, episode 3 was no exception, spotlighting two bold ventures that prove the future of business is both sustainable and profitable: AGTools, a precision agriculture intelligence platform, and Zero Energy Developments, a revolutionary homebuilding company redefining net-zero living.

Why Go Fund Yourself Works

At its core, Go Fund Yourself isn’t just about pitching, it’s about transforming lives and industries. Founders step onto the Show on Cheddar TV with their biggest ideas, while the show’s Titans — visionaries like Rory Cutaia, Jayson Waller, and David Meltzer — offer not just funding potential, but real-world mentorship, strategic insight, and connections money can’t buy.

For entrepreneurs, it’s a golden ticket to national exposure, validation from top business minds, and the chance to attract everyday investors through equity crowdfunding. For viewers, it’s an inspiring, binge-worthy reminder that innovation is alive and thriving.

Spotlight on AGTools: Data That Feeds the World

Martha Montoya, CEO and founder of AGTools, took the stage with a mission as urgent as it is profitable, bringing real-time data analytics to the global specialty-crop market.

AGTools aggregates institutional and government data across 500+ fruits, vegetables, and commodities, arming growers, packers, and distributors with actionable intelligence. The result? Optimized pricing, reduced waste, and improved profitability from farm to fork.

With the agricultural data market exceeding $5 billion and early case studies already driving multi-million-dollar gains for C-suites and category managers, Montoya’s vision is clear: AGTools is here to make farming smarter, supply chains stronger, and sustainability scalable.

Spotlight on Zero Energy Developments: Homes That Power Themselves

Next up, co-founders Armando and Anita Ortega introduced Zero Energy Developments, a company redefining the very concept of home. Their Net Zero Healthy Smart Homes are not just houses, they’re self-sustaining ecosystems.

Every home integrates solar panels, battery storage, and AI-driven energy management, meeting and surpassing Zero Energy and Energy Star standards. The result is climate-resilient housing that allows families to live completely off-grid, without giving up comfort, design, or style.

With demand for sustainable housing at an all-time high, Zero Energy Developments is positioned for rapid scalability, long-term recurring revenue, and a massive impact on how future communities are built.

The Takeaway

From the farm fields to the family home, this week’s episode of Go Fund Yourself proved that the future belongs to companies tackling real-world problems with bold, scalable solutions. AGTools and Zero Energy Developments aren’t just businesses, they’re movements, tackling food security and sustainable living head-on.

For investors, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike, Go Fund Yourself continues to prove why it’s more than just entertainment, it’s a launchpad for the next wave of industry disruptors.
