Avenews

Avenews (Avenews-GT) is a Nairobi-based agri-fintech and Digital Credit Provider licensed by the Central Bank of Kenya that delivers transaction-backed, recurring working-capital financing to agricultural SMEs across Kenya. Rather than requiring traditional collateral, Avenews underwrites using digital trade data, M-Pesa and bank statements, and supply-chain history. Its products include the Agri Credit Line (recurring capital to restock inputs), Agri Supplier Financing (invoice financing), Agri Buyer Financing (deferred-payment terms), and Stockist Financing (direct distributor payments). The public site is built on Wix and exposes a Wix Site MCP endpoint plus an llms.txt file for agentic AI access, though Avenews does not publish a bespoke developer API, OpenAPI definition, or developer portal. This profile was surfaced as a Techstars-connected portfolio lead and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

Avenews is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Agriculture, Lending, and Working Capital.

Avenews’ developer surface includes engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 7 more developer resources.
