Farmcrowdy has in the past worked with Crowdyvest to crowdfund for farming projects. Following this change, Farmcrowdy has now fully exited the crowdfunding space and Crowdyvest will begin to operate a closed-community model for savings.

Launched just 1 year ago, Crowdyvest has over 10,000 members who have seen opportunities to sponsor projects through its platform previously led by its Co-founder & CEO, Onyeka Akumah.
