Hello Tractor

Hello Tractor provides a native app solution that connects farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa to tractor owners in nearby communities. While this solution provides the ability for poor, smallholder farmers to access much-needed mechanization, farmer demand far exceeds supply given only 15,000 new tractors are sold on the entire African continent each year and commercial banks invest less than 5% of their loan portfolios in African agriculture.

Blaze Group developed an innovative pay-as-you-go (PAYG) solution for aspiring agribusiness entrepreneurs, allowing leasing customers to pay down their leasing contract as they service nearby farms. Small, weekly repayments are made (based on actual work completed), increasing the ease of repayment at the time at which revenue is generated. With the strategic assistance, messaging, marketing strategy and project management provided by Blaze Group, the company
raised $5MM+ within its first 3 months of running the pilot program. More than 40% of women are tractor owners.

The Literacy Lab

The Literacy Lab provides sustainable, research- and evidence-based early literacy intervention to students in Pre-K through grade 3. The Literacy Lab has offices across 6 states and serves 6,300 students per year (in partnership with 142 schools). Given the nation's struggle to overcome literacy challenges over the past several decades, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Blaze Group was engaged to assist the nonprofit in conducting market research & strategic planning to achieve increased scale, accessibility, data capture, and cultural competency.

Blaze Group conducts ongoing internal gap analysis, field interviews, market research, and competitive analysis to streamline insights across a relatively fragmented sector. As the educational sector grapples with high execution costs, the emergence of edtech alternatives with minimal market history, and a talent pipeline leakage - thoughtful and well-paced testing is imperative. Blaze Group involves the entire firm in exploration, ensuring that collective buy-in and company culture are prioritized. A phased-approach allows for concentrated focus and flexibility in direction through the partnership timeline.
