Frequently asked questions
What coffee farmers and Digital Partners ask.
Short, direct answers. If yours is missing, message us on WhatsApp.
Is this a loan?
No. It is a profit-sharing partnership. There is no debt and no interest, and if the harvest underperforms the farmer does not end up owing anything.
How does a coffee farmer finance a harvest with Harvverse?
A Digital Partner co-invests in the farmer’s lot in exchange for a share of that harvest’s profit. It is not a loan: the capital participates in the outcome instead of demanding a fixed repayment.
What does it cost the farmer to join?
Nothing. Registering the farm is free, WhatsApp alerts are free, and there is no fee to participate.
What is a Digital Partner?
Someone who co-invests in a verified coffee lot and shares the harvest profit with the farmer, instead of lending money at interest.
How is the Digital Partner’s capital protected?
It is held in regulated bank custody and released against verified milestones of the crop cycle. Harvverse never holds the capital.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use Harvverse?
No. The farmer registers from a phone and then interacts over WhatsApp. The technology runs behind the scenes.
Does the farmer still own the farm?
Yes. The farmer keeps ownership of the land and keeps farming it. A Digital Partner shares in the profit of one lot and one cycle, never in the property.
Which countries does Harvverse operate in?
It starts in Honduras, with specialty coffee. The model is crop- and country-agnostic.
How do you register a farm on Harvverse?
Create an account at defi.harvverse.farm, complete your personal details, register the farm with its location, area and altitude, add varieties and production history, and upload farm photos. It takes about twenty minutes from a phone.
What is HARVI?
HARVI is the free WhatsApp support channel: weather alerts, early warnings about crop condition and answers to questions. It is not a token or a currency, and it grants no points redeemable for money.
What does the satellite verify?
The condition and evolution of the lot through the cycle, using Earth-observation data. It serves two purposes: early warnings for the farmer and independent evidence for the Digital Partner.
Is there a guaranteed return for the Digital Partner?
No. Profit depends on the harvest and its sale. Digital Partnerships are not registered securities or tradable instruments, and nothing on this site constitutes a promise of performance.
What is the difference between harvverse.farm and harvverse.com?
harvverse.farm is the user-facing site for coffee farmers and Digital Partners. harvverse.com is the corporate site for investors, institutions and press. The platform itself is at defi.harvverse.farm. All three belong to the same company: Harvverse Inc. and Harvverse Honduras S.A. de C.V.
Who is behind Harvverse?
Harvverse was founded in 2023 by Jorge Lanza (Co-Founder & CEO) and Carol Guevara (Co-Founder & COO), is headquartered in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and operates two registered legal entities: Harvverse Inc. (Delaware C-Corp, USA) and Harvverse Honduras S.A. de C.V.
