Stage 01 of the Refactory Γ @Emata_UG AgriTech Fellowship is officially complete! πΎβ¨
Yesterday, we wrapped up an insightful Masterclass focused on real product thinking and live case studies led by Emataβs CPO. It was inspiring to see so many sharp minds engage with the realities of building AI-driven financial solutions for smallholder farmers across East Africa.
Next up: the intensive 4-week bootcamp, where 10 selected students will transition from theory to fieldwork and build out full product roadmaps.
We are excited to see what next and congratulations to everyone who joined us and showed a true passion for shaping impactful Agritech! π

#HappeningNow: Most agritech products fail not because of bad technology, but because of what happens at the product stage.
Today we filled a room full of people ready to fix that.
In partnership with @refactory_acad this is the first step of our Agritech Fellowship. π
Thank you for the overwhelming interest in this! π
We will be sending out emails shortly with information for the people who secured a spot (and the ones who didn't).
NB! Your spot is ONLY confirmed once you receive an email from us.

This is a question farmers face often. School fees, health emergencies, farm investments.
This problem is exactly why we offer cash loans to farmers. So the answer will always be "B".
Emata loans buys patience to make the right choice.

πΉπΏ Great news: We're #hiring a Country Lead for Tanzania.

You might be right for this if:
- You have deep roots in πΉπΏ agri
- You're as comfortable at an AMCOS in Mbeya as in a C-suite meeting in Dar
- You're the kind of person who knows results are more important than looking busy
We want someone who likes to be the reason it works.
Last week, our team painted β and made β pots together.
Not the most extreme thing we've done (that title probably goes to VR combat in Busiika, or the shooting range in Nakawa).
Let's talk about why we think laptop breaks are critical for us to do our job well! π
It doesn't happen by accident.
You build it in small moments β when a senior engineer is terrible at making pots and laughing about it next to a finance junior who's equally terrible at it.
Moments like that make it easier to reach out when you're stuck with a work problem.
