Turn coffee builders into
category winners
A Y Combinator-style accelerator, purpose-built for the zero-carbon coffee supply chain. We select a small cohort of founders, fund them on a standard deal, work with them intensively for 12 weeks, and put them in front of investors on Demo Day.
The Standard Deal
One transparent term for every team — no negotiation, no exceptions. That's the point.
$50k–150k on a SAFE
Standardized investment for 5–7% equity, based on stage. Same term for every team in the batch.
Aeroponic technology license
Access to NAPELL aeroponic cultivation systems, smart-farm IoT stack, and propagation know-how.
Carbon verification included
Third-party verification (Verra, Gold Standard, SCS) of your project's carbon impact, covered by JEBI.
Route to market
Distribution through the JEBI ecosystem: farms, roasteries, cafés, and the SHINAE Coffee Bank platform.
12 Weeks, Then Demo Day
Remote-first with an on-farm residency. Built to compress years of learning into weeks.
Selection & onboarding — finalize the deal, define your coffee-chain track, set carbon baselines.
Build — product, supply contracts, aeroponic pilots, and customer conversations. Weekly check-ins.
On-farm residency — hands-on aeroponic training and supply-chain integration at a partner base.
Demo Day prep — pitch rehearsal, metrics, and introductions to our investor and partner network.
Demo Day
Present to a curated room of climate investors, coffee trade buyers, and strategic partners. Batch projects also get priority placement on the JEBI Capital crowdfunding platform.
Three Ways In
We select teams across every stage of the coffee value chain — the batch becomes a supply chain.
01 Supply side

02 Demand side
Roasting, cafés, and retail. Secure verified low-carbon supply and sell through the JEBI network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — the standard deal is $50k–150k on a SAFE for 5–7%, depending on stage. The same term for every team keeps the process fast and fair.
No. The program is remote-first, but weeks 7–10 include an on-farm residency at a partner growing base. Teams cover travel; JEBI covers the program.
Batch companies get priority verification and featured placement on JEBI Capital after Demo Day, but Demo Day is the primary funding event.
Small teams (1–4 people) building anywhere in the coffee supply chain with a credible path to measurable carbon reduction. Stage matters less than speed.
