Co-Founding Palta3
Overview
Last November, I joined Cristian O’Ryan, an awarded social entrepreneur from Chile on his mission to accelerate Climate tech in remote and underserved communities in Latin America.
Through our own experience, literature review and surveys we identified the need for inclusive financing options for farmers in the last mile to adopt solar energy.
We are working with agile methodologies and bi-weekly sprints.
To date we were able to establish key partnerships with agroindustrial export firm EGA in Peru and we made it to second rounds of highly competitive grants Expolive Dubai, Unicef Ventures Fund, and EWOR.

Challenge
Less than 2% of farmers in Peru are using solar energy and spending up to 20% of their annual income, the main barrier being the high upfront costs and the lack of financial services.
Currently there are no viable methods to allow international investments in these projects.
The Solution
A Fintech that makes it possible to finance productive renewable energy projects through cryptocurrency so that small farmers can improve their productivity, reduce costs and promote sustainability.
