200 factories. 100,000 tons/year. 10,000 jobs. A $50M platform to make it happen.
Local entrepreneurs need $50K-$500K to start. Microfinance stops at $20K. DFI thresholds start at $5M. We're building the instrument that bridges this gap.
The Spark: $3M Revolving Grant
This is what we're raising now.
Schema: Your grant finances equipment → leased to local entrepreneurs → lease payments reimburse your contribution → recovered capital funds new projects. 1€ invested generates 3-5€ of cumulative impact over 10 years.
Talk to Us About the Revolving Grant
This first phase proves the mechanism works: entrepreneurs repay leases, the model is commercially viable, the pipeline absorbs larger tranches.
The Platform: $50M via Digital Green Bonds
Tranche | Amount | Role |
First Loss (Revolving Grants) | $10M (20%) | Absorb initial risk |
Digital Green Bonds | $40M (80%) | Finance deployment at scale |
Partial guarantees | ~30% principal | ORRAA, GuarantCo |
Architecture: 10 industrial hubs. 2 regional SPVs (VCC Singapore + SPV Mauritius). Assets held by hubs, leased to operators.
Breaking the grant cycle.
Large grants fund one-off projects that don't survive past the funding cycle. Or commercial debt crushes economics before breakeven.
The revolving mechanism breaks this cycle. Capital circulates instead of being consumed. Risk is absorbed by redeployable assets: containerized factories that move to a new operator if one fails. Portfolio diversified across countries and markets. Aligned with ICMA Green Bond Principles. Supervised by AFD.
Impact per $1M deployed :
- 3,000-10,000 T/year
- 100-300 formal jobs
- ~10 factories
Who this is for:
- Development agencies (GCF, MDBs)
- Foundations
- Ocean/blue economy initiatives
- Corporates committed to plastic action
