Orijin joined the Brainforest portfolio after winning the pitch competition of the Brainforest Venture Program, an intensive program dedicated to advancing high potential ventures in forest and biodiversity innovation. Among a select cohort of five, Orijin's vision for sustainable agriculture won over the judges and secured the top spot. The challenge Orijin tackles is a pressing one. Producers of coffee, cocoa and other essential crops often run low output operations and struggle to meet growing compliance standards such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Without traceability, premium markets stay out of reach. Orijin's platform changes that. With features like deforestation monitoring and real time product origin verification, it equips farmer organizations and agribusinesses with accessible tools for traceability, environmental protection and market access. Supporting smallholder farmers and large scale producers alike, Orijin creates a win for businesses and the planet. The momentum is real. As shared in the Brainforest announcement, Orijin was selected from more than 180 startups to compete at Arctic15, one of the most prestigious startup competitions in the Nordic region, and secured the second place prize. With its investment, alongside additional backing from Gorilla Capital, the Nordics' most active early stage investor, Brainforest supports Orijin in scaling its solutions and delivering compliance, traceability and management tools to agricultural producers worldwide. Because supply chains should reward the people who protect forests, not overlook them.
