The next phase for Kahawa Roots is to move from pilot to growth. We aim to establish our position in the UK specialty green coffee market by securing long-term B2B clients (roasters, cafés, and universities) and scaling our export operations from Kenya.
We are also focused on strengthening our traceability and sustainability systems, particularly developing a geo-mapping platform that enables buyers to trace their coffee down to the farm level. We are also expanding our “one kilo, one tree” initiative to support climate resilience and reforestation in Kenya.
From Elevate, we hope to gain:
- Strategic mentorship to refine our business model, partnerships, and go-to-market approach.
- Support in supply chain optimisation and operations management, especially around UK compliance and logistics.
- Expertise in building our tech-enabled traceability system.
- Access to funding and investment networks to scale sustainably.
- A community of like-minded entrepreneurs where we can share, learn, and grow together.
