Girls team M-Farm wins IPO48 in Nairobi!

November 02, 2010
IPO48 was a boot-camp style event in Nairobi, Kenya in late October. Martin Villig and Ragnar Sass from Garage48 team helped HumanIPO to organize the event in Kenya, which was similar to Garage48 event series. HumanIPO also put up a 10,000 EUR seed investment as a price for the winning team.

Overall there were 37 ideas presented, out of which 18 teams was formed. All the teams worked hard over the weekend to present their products on demo event Sunday evening at Strathmore University in Nairobi.

The jury voted a girls team M-Farm as winners. M-Farm startup focuses on helping small farmers get the much needed information for distribution of their products to the market. The mobile application will allow a farmer get real time price information without having to deal with brokers, sell the products through mobile phone, get weather alerts, connect with other farmers, find nearest farm stores and get help from farm experts.


IPO48 panel of judges supported the idea as Kenya has 5 million farmers and the application will help to reduce agricultural census. If you want to know more about M-Farm and support the Nairobi girl-power with investing in them, please check out their startup plan on HumanIPO.
