About Project Mocha
Built by people who live the problem
Deep expertise across coffee, finance, technology, and operations — connecting productive agricultural assets to the capital they deserve.
Project Mocha bridges the gap between smallholder coffee farmers and global capital markets through Production Notes — verified production-backed financing where every dollar finances real coffee volume.
Our team combines third-generation coffee farming roots with finance, AgriTech, and blockchain infrastructure to create a transparent, traceable financing model.
