WE ARE A VENTURE STUDIO BUILDING CLIMATE-SMART AGTECH STARTUPS IN AFRICA

We believe Africa can feed the world while restoring the planet

We ideate, build and scale businesses that catalyze climate-smart agrifood systems.

We are not an incubator nor a venture fund -
we are a venture studio.

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
