Building the operating system for African agriculture

A field-tested robot, a shipped app, and a clear path to scale.

Why now

Sub-Saharan Africa's agricultural sector accounts for 15–20% of GDP and employs over half the workforce, yet remains almost entirely non-digital. Global precision-agriculture platforms weren't built for 2–20 hectare farms, patchy connectivity, or mobile-money billing — which leaves the fastest-growing segment of world agriculture essentially unserved.

Traction

  • AgriBot's ground robot is built and field-tested, not a concept render
  • A production Android app is already shipped, with seven working feature tabs
  • Live cloud services in production today: Supabase, HiveMQ Cloud MQTT/TLS
  • A rule-based agronomic AI engine and computer-vision camera control are already live
  • Two pilot farms (Centre and West regions) are scheduled within the current roadmap

Our moat

  • Offline-first engineering, not a bolt-on feature — the platform works with zero connectivity
  • Local build and service capability, versus imported hardware with no local support
  • Mobile-money billing (MTN MoMo / Orange Money) fitted to how Cameroonian farms actually pay
  • A shared-asset model — one robot and drone serving many farms through a cooperative — that lowers entry cost in a way imported products can't match
