Micro Crop

For the past few months we've been cooking at @micro_crop you guys are not ready 👀🔥

“Builders start with the tech. Founders start with the problem.” @micro_crop shared this on Spaces. Tech is the tool, not the starting point. Check out this clip to hear more!

Today I'll be attending ATS I'm building @micro_crop - the infrastructure layer that lets insurance companies offer parametric crop insurance to farmers. Looking to meet people in insurtech, agritech, and anyone working on financial inclusion across Africa. Come say hi or drop a DM! #ATSNBO

Stripe's insight wasn't about payments. It was about leverage. "What if one team solved this problem so thoroughly that nobody else ever had to?" Parametric insurance needs the same thinking. @micro_crop x.com/antismart_/sta…

That’s exactly where @micro_crop was born. @PL__Genesis gave us the space to turn an idea into something real. If you’ve got an idea you want to bring to life, this is the place to start → plgenesis.com

We heard it from @antismart_ , co-founder of @micro_crop who reminded us: Hackathons are where ideas show up, and the real work starts after. If you’re building long-term you’re in the right place!

Most crop insurance fails farmers at the moment they need it most. When droughts or floods wipe out a season, traditional insurance doesn’t respond fast enough. Claims have to be filed. Inspections are scheduled. Damage is debated. Payouts arrive months later—if they arrive at all. For smallholder farmers living season to season, that delay is devastating. Families sell assets. Loans default. Children leave school. Trust in insurance disappears. This is why the majority of smallholder farmers across Africa remain uninsured—not because they don’t need protection, but because the system isn’t built for their reality. A Better Model: Parametric Insurance Parametric insurance flips the model. Instead of relying on claims and inspections after a loss, payouts are triggered automatically when pre-agreed, objective conditions are met—such as prolonged drought or extreme rainfall. No paperwork. No disputes. No waiting. When support arrives quickly, farmers can replant, stabilize their income, and recover before a shock becomes permanent. What We’re Building at @micro_crop At @micro_crop, we’re not an insurance company. We’re building the infrastructure layer that enables insurance companies, banks, and agricultural platforms to offer parametric crop insurance simply and at scale. Our system allows partners to: Define clear, transparent payout conditions upfront Monitor conditions continuously throughout the season Trigger automatic payouts when thresholds are met Deliver funds directly to farmers via mobile money For farmers, this feels simple and fair. For partners, it removes massive operational and administrative overhead. Think Stripe for parametric insurance. Why This Matters Now Climate volatility is no longer an edge case—it’s the norm. At the same time, mobile money has become ubiquitous, even in rural communities. Farmers don’t need new behavior or new devices to receive support. What’s been missing isn’t demand or distribution—it’s infrastructure that makes fast, trusted payouts possible. That’s the gap we’re closing. Who This Is For We work with: Insurance companies modernizing agricultural products Banks protecting agricultural loan portfolios AgTech platforms bundling financial resilience Cooperatives and aggregators serving smallholder farmers One integration can unlock protection for tens of thousands of farmers. The Bottom Line We’re not trying to replace insurers. We’re giving them the tools to offer insurance that actually works for farmers—when it matters most. Fast. Automatic. Trusted. The future of crop insurance is parametric—and it’s being built in Africa. If you work at an insurer or bank exploring parametric products, let’s talk.

Happy New Year from the MicroCrop team. New year, new growth, same mission — standing with farmers through every season.

Yes we will tokenize everything, even risk

Yes Everything will be tokenized

Watching our FF teams demo this week on stage hit different! 12 weeks of late nights, feedback loops, and numerous iterations all boils down into a few minutes on stage. The teams absolutely delivered! Moments like these remind you why early stage startup accelerators like this matter. ✨

It's finally happening🔥 To kick us off, we have @antismart_ who is building @micro_crop sharing tales from Buenos Aires to the community at the #NoBSZone. #TheFinalBlock

It was great sharing my Devconnect experience with builders at @ayahq_ hub in Kilifi and also sharing about what we are building at @micro_crop

And that's where MicroCrop comes in

Today\u2019s the day @PL__Genesis @micro_crop

We've got @micro_crop with smart crop insurance for African farmers using @WeatherXM data and blockchain-triggered payouts on Flow. Can't wait for them to demo what they've built!

Hello Habibi, currently in Dubai for Build week and team @micro_crop is eagerly awaiting Demo day to unveil our farming innovation @PL__Genesis

Two weeks. One house. Six teams. Casa Innovación brought top teams in the Founders Forge cohort together in Buenos Aires to ship, refine, and get Demo Day-ready. Here’s a look at the work, the momentum, and the caliber of builders in the @protocollabs startup accelerator.

That’s a wrap on Devconnect Buenos Aires! The Ethereum ecosystem showed up strong and the energy was unreal. Privacy, AI, DeFi — every room was filled with sharp conversations about the systems we need to build next. Feels like we’ve got the right teams to push it forward 🚀

Massive shoutout to the entire Founders Forge cohort — smart, supportive, zero ego. The kind of group that makes hard problems actually fun to solve. Special thanks to @yosoymelvera for keeping everything running smoothly and supporting all of us throughout the program. Teams + builders: @pomodoki_app @micro_crop @derby_fish @SkyFallHedge + Adrian with X402
