Egypt‑based DisrupTech Ventures has made its first pan‑African investment by backing Nigerian agri‑fintech startup Winich Farms as part of its pre‑Series A funding round. 

Winich Farms, headquartered in Lagos, supports over 180,000 smallholder farmers who account for approximately 80% of Nigeria’s farming population and nearly 90% of total agricultural output by connecting them directly to processors and retailers via a digital platform.

Operating in 29 of Nigeria’s 36 states, the startup uses a decentralized agent network and local collection hubs to aggregate produce, bypassing costly middlemen and increasing farmers’ margins. 

Winich’s proprietary Winich Card enables cashless transactions, helping farmers build a verifiable financial history that supports future access to credit. The company also delivers direct credit offerings and agronomic advisory services in partnership with the Kebbi Agricultural Research Development Agency (KARDA). 

Mohamed Okasha, Managing Partner at DisrupTech Ventures, emphasized the investment’s strategic significance:

“Our decision to back Winich Farms aligns perfectly with our mission to invest in bold, tech‑driven solutions that uplift underserved populations. Winich’s platform is uniquely positioned to unlock Nigeria’s agriculture potential with a scalable and inclusive model”. 


Attai Riches, Co‑founder and CEO of Winich Farms, expressed optimism about the new partnership:

“DisrupTech brings more than capital; they bring deep fintech expertise and a vision for inclusive innovation. This collaboration will strengthen our operations, help us scale across Nigeria, and lay the foundation for regional expansion into other African and MENA markets”. 


This investment marks DisrupTech’s first move into Sub‑Saharan Africa, signaling growing cross‑border venture capital interest in the agricultural digitisation of the continent. Winich Farms’ asset‑light, agent‑based model, combined with its integration of payments, logistics, and advisory services, reflects a broader trend toward formalising supply chains and financial access for rural producers in Africa.

As inflation, rising input costs, and currency devaluation weigh on Nigeria’s agriculture sector, platforms like Winich aim to empower smallholder farmers through digital tools, fair marketplaces, and financial inclusion.

Winich Farms is a Nigerian agri‑tech and agri‑fintech startup that digitally connects smallholder farmers to institutional buyers, enables cashless financial transactions, and builds pathways to credit and advisory services.

An Egypt‑based early‑stage fintech fund, DisrupTech Ventures champions innovation across financial inclusion and digital transformation. Its investment in Winich Farms marks its strategic shift into pan‑African markets.
