Kenya’s Pyramidia Ventures Secures USD 1.5 M To Scale Climate-Focused Agritech Startups

Kenyan agritech venture studio Pyramidia Ventures has raised USD 1.5 M from Dutch impact investor Triple Jump to expand its model of building and scaling climate-focused startups across Africa. The deal includes USD 1.3 M in funding and USD 200 K in technical assistance and business development support from the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF), which Triple Jump manages.

Founded in 2021 by Ruth Bertens (ex-McKinsey) and Joseph Rehmann (founder of Victory Farms), Pyramidia Ventures operates as a venture builder, creating and piloting startup concepts in-house before recruiting co-founders to scale them. Its portfolio includes Stable Foods, which offers irrigation-as-a-service and has raised USD 600 K seed funding, as well as Womega and Afriprotein.

Pyramidia plans to use the new capital to launch at least two new ventures annually, aiming to strengthen Africa’s agri-food systems and accelerate the transition to resilient, low-carbon agriculture.
