About
A cheap, biodegradable capsule packed with native tree seeds, compost, and a water-holding gel — no nursery, irrigation, or fertilizer needed.
Impact
Barren land turns green without costly nurseries, saplings stop dying in the first dry season, and communities can reforest hillsides and riverbanks with what fits in a backpack.
Progress
Hand-made 200 pods and scattered them across a bare hillside, then checked weekly for 10 weeks — over 80% sprouted, versus under 20% for seeds planted the normal way.
Team
Grew up watching the hills near my house get stripped bare for firewood, taught myself about seed germination and biodegradable materials, and I care about bringing the trees back before the soil washes away."
Funding
No displayed figures preserved for this project.
Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
