We grill the co-founders of CrowdFarming, Juliette Simonin and Gonzalo Urculo, on how they became start-up founders and their path to where they are today.
- How did everything start?
- Did mom and dad help?
- Is CrowdFarming inclusive enough?
- What kind of metrics make an impact?
- Does having investors mean selling your soul to the dark side?
We dare you to find company directors that bare it all so publicly!
The founders let us pick their brains to our hearts’ content, from Gonzalo’s trajectory from being a youngster working in logistics to running a farm and becoming a start-up founder, to the power of differences within a team – or “when Mr. Chaos meets Mrs. Protocol”.

When we place an order, what happens next. Do our order go into a central office or do they go directly to the farmer?
Thank you for your interest, there are actually two ways in our logistic system. Some orders will come directly from the farmer to your door. Some other will only pass through our logistic hub as explained in this article, it is a logistics hub, not a storage facility though 📦🥬
One thing you didn’t discuss is how do the orders work.. i.e. I send in an order and make my payment. Does that go directly to the farmer or does it go to a central office to be then transmitted to the farmer who prepares the order? If you could just say a few words about how this is organised.. I am very enthusiastic about CrowdFarming and have made and received several orders, both from our apartment in Belgium and our house in Italy.. sometimes to Belgium and sometimes to Italy..
Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm! Indeed that is a fair question 🧑🌾 The article on Economic Transparency will give you more details about this topic https://www.crowdfarming.com/blog/en/economic-transparency/ The transaction is directly from the customer to the farmer, we take a percentage on the transaction for the services provided.
