How Onyeka Akumah started the Crowdfarming Platform Farmcrowdy & Impact Funding Platform Crowdyvest

In this episode meet Onyeka Akumah, a serial-entrepreneur and the co-founder of Farmcrowdy and Crowdyvest

Farmcrowdy is a digital agriculture platform in Nigeria that connects small-scale farmers with investors for the purpose of boosting food production, while Crowdyvest became a platform where members get access to impact-driven investment opportunities.

In the interview that we did with Onyeka back in 2019 he shares about:

  • How he came up with the idea for Farmcrowdy
  • Why raising funds is a continuous process in their business
  • How him and his co-founders piloted their business
  • And what his advice for young Nigerians is

There is a lot of gold in this interview and we hope you learn as much as we did. 

And now, without further ado, enter Onyeka.
