Project Description and Impact

HERVeg.05 is an early-stage social enterprise in Tanzania helping smallholder farmers — especially women and youth — grow food, income, and resilience using a circular farming model. We combine climate-smart inputs, mobile layaway savings, and last-mile village agent networks to deliver real impact. With over 2,000 farmers already reached and 45% average yield increases, we’re now preparing to scale. To get there, we need to raise $100K in blended funding. Our team is deeply rooted in the field but new to capital strategy — and we’re looking for expert support to help us do it right.

Learning Opportunity

You won’t just advise a startup — you’ll help shape a bold, community-rooted movement that’s rewriting the rules of rural agriculture. At HERVeg.05, we’re fusing solar tools, mobile layaway savings, and regenerative farming into a circular system that makes owning a farm plot as easy as owning a phone. You’ll get rare insight into how digital tools and village networks are leapfrogging traditional ag systems — all while co-creating with women farmers who are driving real change from the ground up. If you want to see what the future of inclusive, climate-resilient food systems looks like, this is it — and you’ll be building it, not just watching.
