Kenyan agri-tech venture studio Pyramidia Ventures has raised $1.5 million in fresh funding to accelerate its mission of building and scaling startups that make Africa’s food systems more resilient and climate-friendly.
Founded in 2021 by Ruth Bertens, a former McKinsey consultant, and Joseph Rehmann, the founder of aquaculture giant Victory Farms, Pyramidia Ventures was created to nurture a pipeline of investable companies tackling the challenges of food security, sustainability, and carbon reduction across the continent.
The new investment and funding comes from Dutch impact investor Triple Jump, which has committed $1.3 million in capital, alongside $200,000 in technical assistance and business development support provided through the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF) that it manages.
Since its launch, Pyramidia has spun out several innovative ventures. Among its most notable is Stable Foods, a subscription-based platform delivering “irrigation-as-a-service” to smallholder farmers.
Other startups under its umbrella include Womega, which streamlines Africa’s fragmented fish supply chain, and Afriprotein, a company pioneering the production of alternative proteins for both human and animal consumption.
By combining funding, expertise, and a focused venture studio model, Pyramidia aims to bridge the gap between innovative agri-tech ideas and scalable, climate-smart businesses capable of transforming Africa’s agricultural landscape.
