WE ARE A VENTURE STUDIO
FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRIFOOD
START-UPS IN AFRICA
We believe Africa can feed the world while restoring the planet
We ideate, build and scale sustainable agrifood businesses.
We are not an incubator nor a venture fund -
we are a venture studio.
Our Ventures
Stable Foods
Creating a physical and digital platform of the smartest smallholders, starting with a solar-powered ultra-low-cost drip irrigation subscription
Womega
Revolutionising the value chain of omena, a highly nutritious small fish from Lake Victoria, to sustainably increase nutritional value by 10X
Afriprotein
A nitrogen-fixing bush indigenous to East Africa presents a local alternative for soybeans, at massive scale
Our approach
Maximising Impact
We ruthlessly focus our resources on those ideas with the potential for radical positive impact at massive scale
Crazy for circular plays
We love ventures that can be bolt on to our existing agrifood ecosystem to create circular food plays
Burn vs learn
We rapidly prototype, pilot and prove a business model’s potential for success, carefully balancing “how much we learn vs how much we burn”
No fear of value chains
We are not afraid to tackle necessary fixes across entire agrifood value chains, instead of siloed interventions
Long-term
We have a long-term mindset because we strongly believe in the potential of our ventures and co-founders if given the appropriate time
Our Unique Pyramidia Platform
What sets us apart, is our unique platform to rapidly build out ventures for sustainable impact at scale
Rapid Piloting
Our venture building team, agile test-and-try mentality, data-driven evaluation and agrifood infrastructure allow us to rapidly run pilots in a highly cost-effective manner
Deep Sector Experience
We understand agri value chain and tech disruption and have built continental leaders in this space. This gives us a competitive advantage in assessing early stage risks and potential returns
Talent Concentration
We can quickly mobilise multi-disciplinary teams or individual expertise from our diverse, in-house talent pool
On The Ground
We are on the ground, day in day out, to learn, to create, to innovate, and to report directly on tangible impact
