At Village Capital, we believe that the work of entrepreneurs solving urgent problems is vital to face the current world situation. For this reason, we fuel the growth of sustainable and impactful businesses by unlocking capital for early-stage entrepreneurs who are building emergent solutions for social, economic, and environmental challenges worldwide.

Greentech Africa 2025: The Future of Sustainability will support early-stage companies who are creating locally viable solutions focused on cleantech and climate tech, agtech and food security, circular and regenerative economy, biodiversity protection, water sanitation, and health in Africa. The companies will participate in 3 weeks of virtual workshops where they will have the opportunity to analyze their business from different perspectives and be better prepared to keep growing.

We are assembling a Selection Committee, formed by Moody's volunteers and other members of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa, to support the program and provide input as we review the semifinalists.

Selection Committee members commit to:
-Be ambassadors for the program, spreading the word about the call for applications with their networks.
-Review applications from 3 to 5 companies and provide feedback (approx. 2hrs).
-Attend a kick-off meeting with the Village Capital team and the rest of the programmatic Selection Committee, where they will receive more information about their participation and the semi-finalist review process (30mins).

The reviewing application period will be asynchronous. Once registered, the Village Capital team will send an email with all the information needed.

Opportunity Details

Our plant nursery located at 1217 Macclesfield Road, Yellingbo, is at the heart of our operations. Open on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 3pm, the nursery has a few paid staff but is mainly supported by nursery volunteers. Without volunteers, we would not be able to propagate around 100,000 plants each year to support local revegetation initiatives and also increase habitat for the critically endangered Helmeted Honeyeater. Up to 12 volunteers help out on each of our three open days, however volunteering numbers are lowest on Friday and we would dearly love some additional support. You will learn about looking after indigenous plants, propagation from seed and cutting, in a magnificent natural setting of the Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area.
