About Algrano
Forget the traditional coffee supply chain. At Algrano, we are a mission-driven, tech-first Swiss startup disrupting a centuries-old industry to make it transparent, digital and radically fair.
Through our innovative online marketplace, we empower coffee farmers to market and sell their beans directly to roasters across Europe and North America. But we don’t just stop at the digital connection, we provide the physical infrastructure, including logistics, insurance, and financing, to make direct, borderless trade a seamless reality.
By connecting the two ends of the supply chain, we are creating profound social and environmental impact. Honored with the Best Innovation award by the European Coffee Industry Association in 2015 for our launch and again in 2022 for our achievements, we currently serve over 1,000 sellers and roasters in more than 50 countries. Our vision is to become the premier platform for direct coffee trading globally.
