Tulaa was a startup improving farmer livelihoods through access to finance, quality inputs, information, and markets. As Senior Product Manager, I owned vision and delivery of our technical product. The product vision was informed by hours of in-depth conversations and visits to smallholder farmers, input suppliers, banks, and insurance providers. I worked with our team of engineers, designers, and field operations staff to roll out the product and serve thousands of smallholder farmers with life-changing services. I oversaw the launch and go to market of the digital farmer solutions.

Deliverables were (1) a detailed report, and (2) interactive map of key players in entrepreneurship, government, education, journalism, and other support organizations. We used enumerators to collect data across the country from hundreds of participants. Following data collection , we chose cross-sector participants for in-depth interviews. We then coded these interviews and pulled out themes and insights which served as the framework for our report. See the map and read the report here: http://www.innovate.co.tz
