description: “We’re really excited about this agriculture cohort, which includes some incredible diverse solutions from across Sub-Saharan Africa. We kept our call quite broad, from hardware to vertical farming, and I’m glad we were able to comb through a strong semi-finalist batch to land where we are today. I’m also thrilled to expand our support of Ugandan and southern African ventures with this group,” said Adedana Ashebir, regional manager for Sub-Saharan Africa at Village Capital.
