LumaPod
A coordinated motorbike delivery network that connects small tropical farmers directly to urban markets, reducing post-harvest food loss from 40% to under 10%.

The Wow Moment
A farmer watches their freshly harvested papayas sitting on a rural roadside, receives a notification that a buyer in the city has been matched, and within 90 minutes sees a motorbike from a coordinated fleet arrive, collect the produce at a fair pre-agreed price, and receive instant payment - all while tracking the journey in real-time on their phone.
