About the fund:
This Series B funding round was led by BlueOrchard, a global impact investment firm, with participation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
These funds will allow Pula to expand its reach significantly, forge new partnerships, and develop livestock insurance products.
Pula’s success stems from its unique approach. Instead of selling directly to farmers, they build partnerships with organisations like banks, agricultural input companies, and NGOs.
This network enables Pula to reach even the most remote farmers and embed insurance into existing products like credit or seeds.
With this fresh injection of capital, Pula is poised to empower millions more smallholder farmers, building resilience and paving the way for a more secure and prosperous agricultural future.
