Who we are

Patient mentorship for founders who fix what the market left broken.

Our approach

We show up before the numbers look investable. Business planning advice first, then eighteen months of hands-on mentorship beside the founder until the venture is ready to raise capital from other sources.

Start with the soil

Healthier ground is the cheapest yield increase a smallholder can buy. We back the composting, biochar and input businesses that make it affordable at village scale.

Save the harvest

A third of East African produce is lost between field and market. Solar drying, cold storage and better packaging turn that loss back into farmer income.
