Technical development
[001]Legal, financial, growth, and partnership strategy advisory that gets a business structured to receive funding.
We provide structure, hands-on expertise, and capital so frontier agri ideas and businesses can pilot, scale, and raise growth finance.
Institutional co-founders for Ag’s innovative ventures.
Informal agri-SMEs handle over 60% of Africa’s food production and trade, yet most lack the formal collateral banks require. That leaves a $15.6 billion annual financing gap, one that falls hardest on the women and youth already running these businesses.
What we do.
Four ways we get money moving from funders to the businesses that need it, each one solving a different part of the gap.
Financing & investor management
[002]Leading fundraising efforts, managing investor reporting, and advising investors evaluating our onboarded companies.
Finance & grants applications
[003]We prepare and submit grant and climate-finance applications for businesses with the solution but not the paperwork.
M&E & expansion
[004]Independent monitoring and evaluation for donors and INGOs tracking the impact of climate funding on the ground.
Who we serve
Community based organisations
Grassroots enterprises ready to formalise, but without the internal structure funders ask for.
Small-scale agric startups
Early businesses that need USD 10,000-25,000 to move past pilot stage.
Donor organisations
INGOs and funders who need a trusted partner to identify and monitor projects on the ground.
Innovators / innovation hubs
Innovators testing a solution who need structured training to carry it to market.
We are building the infrastructure that formalizes agricultural markets, helps proven innovators scale, and connects more capital directly to the farmers and businesses driving Africa’s food economy.
