Investors & Partners
We're building the agricultural intelligence layer for Bangladesh — starting with a single, validated pilot.
Market Opportunity
Bangladesh possesses a massive agricultural sector marred by inefficiencies and post-harvest waste, yet it has rapidly adopted digital communication and mobile financial services, laying the foundation for a transformative agritech intervention.
Mobile financial services like bKash and Nagad have reached 239.3 million accounts — the infrastructure for digital agricultural payments already exists.
Competitive Landscape
12+ comparable platforms have raised $3B+ combined. No Indian agritech has reached unicorn status since 2020 despite $2B+ invested. We understand this space is hard — which is why we're approaching it differently.

We are requesting $35,951 (৳4,386,026) to fund an 18-month pilot.
Use of Funds Breakdown
What $35,951 Enables
This funding doesn't just cover costs — it validates the entire business model across eight critical dimensions.
Field Validation
On-ground verification of farmer supply, quality standards, and operational workflows in Jashore district.
Farmer Onboarding
Recruiting and training the initial cohort of 150 farmers across Jashore Sadar and Bagherpara upazilas.
Buyer Acquisition
Identifying and onboarding 36 institutional buyers — restaurants, hotels, and kitchens — with repeat procurement needs.
Transaction Testing
Executing real transactions end-to-end to stress-test matching, pricing, and order fulfillment.
Logistics Validation
Testing delivery routes, cold-chain requirements, and third-party logistics partnerships.
Payment Workflow Validation
Verifying escrow mechanics, mobile money disbursement, and reconciliation with bKash/Nagad.
Unit Economics Validation
Measuring actual cost-per-transaction, take rate viability, and margin sustainability at pilot scale.
Data Collection
Building the foundational dataset — supply patterns, demand signals, pricing dynamics, and quality metrics.
Projected Outcomes
150 farmers and 36 institutional buyers onboarded by month 18. ~$25,000 in gross transaction value facilitated.
Revenue is intentionally modest relative to cost at pilot stage. This is a validated-learning investment, not a near-term profit center. We are proving the model before scaling it.
18-Month Success Criteria
We will measure pilot success against these eight key performance indicators.
Repeat Order Rate
Percentage of buyers placing 2+ orders per month
Average Order Value
Mean transaction size across all completed orders
Fulfillment Rate
Orders delivered successfully as a percentage of orders placed
Farmer Payment Time
Hours from confirmed delivery to farmer receiving payment
Buyer Retention
Percentage of onboarded buyers still active at month 18
Gross Margin per Transaction
Revenue minus direct costs per completed transaction
Spoilage/Loss Reduction
Measured reduction in post-harvest waste for participating farmers
Acquisition Cost
Cost to onboard one farmer and one buyer to first completed transaction
