Oko Finance (exact match), Pula ($36M, livestock included), Apollo Agriculture, ACRE Africa, AgriPredict all found. ~$5B agtech funding in Africa since 2018.
KILLED. Space saturated by impact capital. Five direct competitors found in under 2 minutes.
Resurrection check: livestock-specific focus as pivot? Pula already covers livestock. Pivot fails.
RESURRECTION FAILED. Space saturated. No viable niche found.
Kill Reason
Oko Finance is an exact match in Mali, Uganda, and Côte d'Ivoire. Pula raised $36M. Apollo Agriculture, ACRE Africa, and AgriPredict are all in this space. The Africa agtech sector has received approximately $5B in funding since 2018, driven by ESG and impact capital. The category is thoroughly occupied.
