Kenyan Thomas Njeru co-founded Pula Advisors to provide much-needed insurance to smallholder farmers whose limited resources had previously excluded them from accessing cover. Using technology to leapfrog their challenges, Pula develops innovative agricultural micro-insurance products and digital solutions that help farmers mitigate risks by managing yield uncertainties and enhancing their farming techniques.

Pula’s remote sensing and machine learning innovations identify agroecological zones and employ technology to help small-scale farmers improve farming methods and avoid yield risks. In this way, Pula helps farmers to boost their incomes too.
