Genius Farm Partners is a social enterprise coffee company in Myanmar that was established in 2012. It employs 20 staff and works with over 100 farmers. The company is seeking $200,000 or $45,000 in short-term crowdfunding investments between November 2015 and February 2016 to obtain running capital for coffee harvesting. Investors would receive interest payments and discounts on Genius Coffee products after six months. The funding is needed because farmers require cash advances for high quality crops, and banks do not accept crops as collateral for loans.
