Founded in 2019 by Yorick Bruins and Lukas Grosfeld, Wakuli partners with farmer collectives in multiple countries to create a fully regenerative coffee supply chain. The company guarantees stable, long-term contracts that allow growers to invest in shade-grown agroforestry, soil restoration, and the elimination of synthetic fertilizers. Wakuli roasts the high-quality beans lightly to preserve origin flavors and distributes them through its own coffee bars and a subscription e-commerce channel. By combining direct trade, regenerative agriculture, and consumer-friendly distribution, Wakuli aims to raise farmer incomes while shrinking coffee’s environmental footprint. The startup positions itself as an ethical alternative to large incumbents that underpay producers. Fresh capital will be used to open additional cafés in the Netherlands and launch the first locations abroad, further scaling its impact-driven model.
