EthicHub

www.ethichub.com ↗ ·Madrid ·Seed

EthicHub is a Madrid-based regenerative finance (ReFi) company that runs a blockchain-based peer-to-peer crowdlending platform. The platform connects smallholder coffee farmers in Latin America with lenders around the world, and the loans are backed by community crowd-collateral. The company also sells the farmers' traceable specialty green coffee to roasters and coffee professionals. EthicHub was founded in 2017 and launched its lending platform in June 2018. It has funded more than 500 projects and channelled over $4.5 million in credit to farming families in countries including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Honduras. The company closed a $1 million seed round, later ran a €200,000 crowd-equity round, and in 2025 secured $1.5 million in debt facilities from Bybit and Heifer International. Its backers include Cerulean Ventures and Flori Ventures.
