Small Cap Deal of the Year Award - EAVCA Industry Awards (2026)

Excited to share that DOB Equity was awarded the Small Cap Deal of the Year at the EAVCA Industry Awards 2026 for our investment in FarmWorks Agriculture.

The category recognises private capital transactions under USD 10 million that demonstrate commercial viability, execution discipline, and meaningful contribution to the East African ecosystem.

FarmWorks is building a tech-enabled aggregation and distribution platform that connects smallholder farmers directly to markets. The business now operates over 30 branches, sources from more than 4,000 farmers, and serves over 12,000 customers monthly, improving farmer incomes while reducing post-harvest losses across the fresh produce supply chain.

We are proud to accept this recognition. It reflects the quality of what Yi Li and the FarmWorks team have built — and the kind of founder DOB looks to back.

For DOB Equity, this recognition reflects a broader commitment; to back founders building resilient, commercially viable businesses within sustainable food systems, one of the core pillars of how we invest across East Africa.
