About us
Cradle exists to solve a simple but overlooked problem: small-scale farmers are too big for hand tools yet too small for traditional mechanisation.
Even though they produce 80% of the food in our markets, the tools available were never designed for them. We make modern machinery designed for small scale farming accessible and create the digital tools that let farmers use them easily.
Our team brings expertise in mechanization, public-private partnerships and project management. We work alongside farmers, letting the field guide our solutions and apply our experience to bring scalable solutions. Committed for the long haul, we are transforming farming in Africa with the farmers who power it.
