Angel Syndicate for Bangladesh's leading Sharia Compliant Agricultural Investment Platform
WeGro.global is Bangladesh's leading Sharia-compliant agricultural investment platform. WeGro connects retail investors in Bangladesh and abroad with opportunities to invest Bangladeshi farming.
WeGro uses the invested capital to buy inputs like seed, fertilizer and animal feed for the farmers, and then after the harvest (which is insured against loss), WeGro takes the produce to market or to export, and shares the profits with the farmers and the investors.
Learn how you can contribute with the WeGro App for iOS and WeGro for Android, or angel invest directly in the company itself by joining the synidcate.
