Kenyan agritech startup Rhea has secured $100,000 in a convertible note financing round led by Obudu Capital to expand its soil-intelligence technology into Tanzania. Founded in 2022 by Priscilla Wakarera and Soinato Leboo, Rhea develops hardware and software tools designed to help farmers test soil and optimize fertilizer use. The startup's core offering, the RHEA AgriPad, is a portable device packed with sensors and machine learning that generates field-level soil data.
With this latest funding, Rhea plans to commercialize the AgriPad, deploy 100 devices into the field, reach 5,000 farmers, and execute its entry into Tanzania. The move marks a pivot from product research and development toward commercial scaling.
