G.Cooper Farms, based in Ghana, has officially joined FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program as it seeks to scale its operations and meet the rising global demand for meat and dairy products. The company, founded by George Cooper, is currently raising $400K to invest in modern farming equipment, sustainable operations, and to enhance shareholder value year over year.

G.Cooper Farms is pioneering a scalable model in Ghana, responding directly to the Food and Agriculture Organization’s projection that the demand for meat and dairy products will reach $2.6 billion by 2050. The company is addressing the challenge faced by livestock farmers who need access to high-quality, nutrient-rich feed produced through responsible, globally certified farming practices.

Commenting on G.Cooper Farms' participation in the LaunchUp program, Hesham Zreik, CEO of FasterCapital, said, "We are thrilled to welcome G.Cooper Farms to LaunchUp. The agricultural sector in Africa is pivotal for future food security, and companies like G.Cooper Farms are leading the way with innovation and a clear, scalable vision."
He added, "At FasterCapital, we are committed to supporting startups that focus not only on profitability but also on environmental and social impact, and G.Cooper Farms is a perfect example."

George Cooper, Founder of G.Cooper Farms, also expressed enthusiasm about the new collaboration: "Joining FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program is a huge milestone for us. With their support and network, we are confident that we can scale effectively, meet the rising demands in the market, and drive sustainable growth in the agricultural sector."

Through LaunchUp, G.Cooper Farms aims to fortify its position at the forefront of Ghana’s agribusiness industry, tapping into global best practices while meeting critical needs for food security and economic development.
