Accelerating Agricultural Technology in Africa
HoneyCore has closed a $3,300,000 Seed Round led by TLcom Capital, one of Africa's leading technology investment funds. This investment will accelerate our precision agriculture platform, expand our AI-powered crop monitoring capabilities, and grow our partnerships with smallholder farming cooperatives across East and West Africa.
The Agricultural Challenge We Are Solving
African agriculture feeds over a billion people, yet smallholder farmers — who produce 70% of the continent's food — lack access to the data and technology that could dramatically improve their yields and livelihoods. Climate change is making farming more unpredictable. Input costs are rising. And traditional extension services cannot reach the hundreds of millions of farmers who need support.
HoneyCore bridges this gap by bringing precision agriculture technology to smallholder farmers in accessible, affordable, and locally adapted forms. Our platform provides soil analysis, weather forecasting, crop disease early warning, and market access tools tailored for farmers with limited technology infrastructure but enormous potential for improvement.
About TLcom Capital
TLcom Capital is a leading pan-African technology venture capital firm with investments in some of Africa's most successful technology companies. Their deep understanding of African market dynamics, regulatory environments, and distribution challenges makes them an ideal strategic partner for HoneyCore's expansion phase.
Use of Funds
The $3.3M will fund: expansion of our soil monitoring sensor network to 500,000 additional farms; development of our AI crop disease prediction model; launch of our farm-to-market platform connecting farmers directly to buyers; and growth of our agronomist network providing on-ground support.
