This company wants you to get your money to do all the farming labour for you. Farmcrowdy, the leading digital agriculture platform in Nigeria, just raised $1 million in seed funding from local and international investors. The team at Farmcrowdy show up to work everyday with one goal in mind; they want to allow ordinary Nigerians to venture into agriculture, without having to lift a hoe. This sounds interesting and promising, which is why investors (like Cox Enterprises, Techstars Ventures, Social Capital, Hallett Capital and Right-Side Capital) are putting their money in this. There are also angel investors who think this is important, like Tyler Scriven, Michael Cohn, Josephine Group, FC Agro Allied SPV and Dr. Christof Walter; so they put their money in it. Onyeka Akumah, Co-Founder and CEO of Farmcrowdy says “Today’s seed announcement is a remarkable milestone for us and Nigeria’s Agritech industry as a whole — especially having just celebrated the anniversary of our first year of operations in November 2017.
