Congrats. What's your start up about?

  We're an investment marketplace for agriculture and agtech. On the face of it, this sounds totally dull in the world of SnapChat and Secret. Our job is to make sure that your grandchildren have food to eat by 2050 when we we need to feed 10 billion people. I started the company because I was working for a company in west africa before this. We failed to marshal enough capital to grow our business beyond the pilot stage and because of that 1,500 subsistence level farmers lost their only source of income.

    Great idea. You're the 3rd company in the food / agricultural space that got in for interviews this batch. Two others posted here, one which makes analytics for fish farms, and another for cattle farmers.

      Where did see that? I search and didn't see them post? I'd like to reach out to them.
