起步台:Fefifo——设立共享农场 让更多人当小农户

Lianhe Zaobao 农业科技起步公司Fefifo的创办人方家豪和苏启文虽然是科技行业背景,过去对农业行业了解不多,但他们相信凭借所累积的创业和科技领域经验,能通过“共享农场”(co-farm)方式,让小农民更可持续地耕种。 他们一人是数码多媒体公司创办人,一人曾是新加坡政府投资公司(GIC)的科技专才。两人没有耕种农业背景或经验,却联合创立了Fefifo这家农业科技起步开公司。 Fefifo至今共筹集了310万美元(414万新元),投资者包括本地创投公司求索创投(Quest Ventures)、马来西亚RHL Ventures,以及韩国KB Investment等。公司也正展开新一轮的700万美元集资。这笔资金将有助于公司扩展他们在马来西亚的共享农场与数码化农业合同的商业产品,并进入印度尼西亚市场。 More
