Investment thesis
Catalysing purpose-driven entrepreneurship and capital to regenerate food systems by powering Ugandan entrepreneurs to build and own their regenerative agri-food companies
Rootical is a startup studio that catalyzes purpose-driven entrepreneurship in Uganda's regenerative agri-food sector. The organization works with pre-idea entrepreneurs to co-create regenerative agriculture and food businesses from the ground up, providing them with tools, skills, networks, and capital. Hannes leads strategy and replication efforts to build locally-owned, steward-owned businesses that regenerate soils, communities, and food systems while improving livelihoods for small farmers. The studio model enables the creation of pure regenerative agriculture ventures from inception, distinguishing it from traditional incubator and accelerator approaches
