Traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony — the sini

We draw our name from the sini, the traditional ceramic coffee cup of the Horn of Africa.

It represents how we work: relationships built slowly, deeply, and over shared conversation. Our platform combines strategic advisory, government and policy engagement, hands-on venture building, and direct investment through Shariah-compliant and blended finance structures.

Our Approach
Farmer First Equity

We are pioneering an approach that transitions investments into farmer and community ownership — so the people who grow, process, and sell capture more of the value they create. Through our exit structures, we give farmers a stake in the business, a share of the upside, and access to the capital markets that have historically excluded them.

Current Focus Markets
