Nairobi-based climate tech startup, Amini, raised $4 million in funding led by Salesforce Ventures and Female Founders Fund. This follows their earlier $2 million round in March 2023, showing confidence in Amini’s approach to solving Africa’s environmental data gap.
Founded by Kate Kallot, an AI and tech expert, Amini aims to build a top-notch African environmental data system. They’re focusing on industries like food, beverages, and consumer goods to make supply chains eco-friendly, benefiting people and nature.
Partnering with Aon, a global services firm, Amini’s tech aids corporates, farmers, and regulators in agriculture. Their tools offer real-time monitoring and insights into soil, water, and crop health.
This new funding will help Amini expand into more sectors and grow. Their unique position could transform global food systems and manage climate risks in supply chains, especially with new climate disclosure rules in the U.S. and Europe.
Amini’s success isn’t just about tech innovation but also about paving the way for a sustainable future, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Their data can empower farmers with knowledge for better practices, crucial for feeding the world amidst climate change.
