It's been my honor to work with SOCAP Global on their strategies for increasing the flow of capital between funders and entrepreneurs - most notably through our Fellow Program. Each week, we will be featuring one of our inspiring entrepreneurs who were selected through an incredibly competitive process by a committee of trusted impact investors who are part of the SOCAP Community. I am excited for you all to meet Nona Yehia, Co-Founder and CEO of Vertical Harvest Farms which energizes local food systems via hydroponic, vertical, controlled environmental agriculture to deliver healthier food and futures. They work with communities to develop underutilized space in urban, underserved neighborhoods, grow “up” on a fraction of the land required by traditional agriculture, while using 85% less water to deliver our produce at peak flavor and nutrition, year-round.
