Back in 2022, three seasoned pros - Zaheer, Faz, and Jérôme - got together with a big dream: to give South African SMEs the boost they deserve. They knew that access to funding was a major roadblock for so many businesses, especially in the agri and food sectors.
Across Africa, a massive $500 billion funding gap is holding back small and medium businesses. They have the potential, but lack access to finance, making growth and tackling climate change a real struggle.
This hits the agriculture and food sector especially hard — these businesses are vital for jobs and our economy, yet traditional lenders often see them as too risky.
That's where Pumpkn steps in. We're bridging that gap, providing accessible finance to the businesses that need it most. We see their potential, believe in their dreams, and we're here to help them thrive.

After years in the corporate world—telecoms, mining, construction—I was itching for something new, something that would push me beyond my limits.
So, after a chat with the founders, I was in. Their honesty, openness, and anything-goes energy were a breath of fresh air. When I joined Pumpkn, the problem we aimed to solve was still a bit of a mystery.
Agri? FinTech? Never tried it. But that was the beauty—a blank canvas to experiment, innovate, and build without constraints.
I started by leading the engineering charge, but my role has since evolved. It’s stretched me, challenged me, and helped me grow in ways I never imagined.
This journey is more than a job. Knowing we’re making a real difference, changing lives for the better, fuels me. The thrill of building something new and solving meaningful problems keeps me going.
The adventure continues, and I’m excited for what’s next. At Pumpkn, we’re not just building a company—we’re building a future where every entrepreneur has a chance to shine.
