🦒 We Jia-raffes are excited to announce that Jia has been selected as a grantee in the The Arbitrum Foundation RWA Innovation Grants program! 🎉 This grant isn’t just about pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology—it’s about making a real difference for entrepreneurs in emerging markets who need access to capital to grow their businesses. At Jia, our mission is to provide that access, and this opportunity allows us to deepen our impact. For us, it’s not about blockchain for the sake of tech; it’s about using this technology to support real businesses and real people. Whether it’s a small business in Kenya securing the funds they need to expand or an entrepreneur in the Philippines getting the boost to take their business to the next level, the work we’re doing is about more than innovation—it’s about economic empowerment. This grant will help us continue to build and scale solutions that directly benefit entrepreneurs who are working tirelessly to make their visions a reality. These are the people who drive economic growth, create jobs, and build stronger communities. We’re proud to be part of a program that recognizes the importance of real-world impact. Thank you to Arbitrum DAO, Areta and the Expert Committee for believing in our mission. And a huge congratulations to our fellow grantees DoDAO, Frictionless Markets, PYOR, Mystic Finance, Truflation, Infinfty, and Backed Finance AG—together, we’re showing that blockchain can be a force for good, creating tangible benefits where they’re needed most.

🚀 Unlocking Growth, One Sip at a Time 🍹 At Jia, we believe that business success is like a finely crafted beverage—it takes the right ingredients, careful preparation, and perfect timing. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with African Originals, a brand that has not only transformed Kenya's craft beverage industry but has also set new standards for innovation and quality. This partnership is a perfect example of how innovative financing can brew opportunities for rapid growth. 🤝 Founded by Alexandra Chappatte, African Originals has been shaking up Kenya's craft beverage scene with bold flavors made with local ingredients like Turmeric & Chili Tonic and Passion & Lime Cider—perfect for cracking open on a sunny Nairobi afternoon. ☀ Despite their early success and strong demand for their unique products, African Originals—like many growing businesses—faced challenges in accessing the capital they needed. With Jia's invoice financing solution, African Originals was able to unlock capital tied up in receivables, allowing them to invest in their growth and craft success, sip by sip. 📈 The results speak for themselves: African Originals achieved a remarkable 200% growth last year, firmly establishing themselves as one of Kenya's premier craft beverage brands. Their products are now synonymous with quality, innovation, and the authentic taste of Kenya. 🇰🇪 We’re incredibly proud to have facilitated over $1M in working capital originations for African Originals, helping them navigate the challenges of scaling a business in today’s competitive market. But this partnership is about more than just numbers; it’s about supporting a brand that embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Kenya. It’s about bringing the refreshing, vibrant flavors of African Originals to more people, one bottle at a time. 🌍 Curious how Jia can help your business reach its full potential?
