Social Impact Accelerator Batch 3 Social Enterprises

Agro-DigitalPH

Agro-DigitalPH is a social enterprise co-founded by Henry James Sison and Rey Kenneth Molina. Agro-Digital PH is a digital platform that helps minimize the layers in the value chain by providing value chain solutions for cooperatives & small farmer organizations. It aims to consolidate production activities of smallholder farmers, usually organized as cooperatives or associations, to realize economies of scale -- and consequently, to generate better incomes for producers and consistent quality for consumers.

Mayani

Mayani is an agri-tech startup that uses a digital platform to connect local organic farmers with buyers (retail and commercial). It coordinates and organizes farming communities to consolidate the produce for selling to institutional partners. By cutting down the middlemen and optimizing the agri-supply chain, Mayani is able to use their technology to drive 3 main changes: make the small holder farmer’s access to market more equitable, reduce the inefficiency of the agri-supply chain, and make it more dependable, especially in light of a post-pandemic world.

Mayani's founding team is made up of Jeff Barreiro as Chairperson, JT Solis as its CEO, Josef Amara as its CTO and COO, Ochie San Juan as its Chief Farmer and Community Development Facilitator, and Lance Villanueva as Chief of Fulfillment.

Nature Link

Nature Link is a social enterprise founded by Chulyong Lee and Buyoung Lee from the Center for Asian Mission for the Poor - Asia (CAMP). They cater to communities whose access to dignified income is difficult to come by. They help the community members from Towerville, Bulacan and Tarlac to have access to alternative sources of income by buying poultry from the community members or employing them as production staff. They also partner with the Aeta community where Naturelink removes the middlemen in the value chain by directly procuring rice from the farmers at fair prices. These, in the end, increase the communities’ income.

Roots Collective

The Roots Collective is a one-stop shop for social, local, and community-based products in the Philippines. Created in response to the need for startup local and social entrepreneurs to have a physical and social community, it implements a tripartite program of capacity-building, funding facilitation, and market access.
