Company
Thrive Agric
Help African farmers access finance and markets
We built a marketplace that connects rural farmers in Africa with buyers locally and internationally. We provide farmers with loans to buy inputs and extension services that give them better insights on how to grow their crops. This solves the problem of finance, information, and reliable market access for farmers who typically operate in fragmented, informal markets.
We live and operate in Abuja, Nigeria, and the company will remain based there after YC.
Our users and the core of our business are in Nigeria. Being in Abuja puts us close to both the farmers we serve and local partners. It also gives us access to the growing agricultural sector and finance ecosystem here.
