Nigerian startup Agorra AI is an AI-powered environmental, social and governance (ESG) automation and simulation platform that helps organisations streamline sustainability reporting and simulate climate strategies.
Founded in 2023 after the founders met while studying and working across France, Africa, and Europe, Agorra AI combines reporting automation with AI-driven scenario simulation – turning ESG into a strategic, future-proof capability.
“Most companies still rely on manual ESG reporting, like spreadsheets and consultants, and lack predictive tools to model sustainability strategies. Existing platforms focus heavily on carbon or on large enterprises, ignoring mid-sized businesses and fast-evolving markets,” Babajide Esho, co-founder and CEO of Agorra AI, told Disrupt Africa.
Bootstrapped to date, though currently seeking a US$200,000 pre-seed round, Agorra AI has already completed six pilot projects, and signed notable collaborations with Northwest Oil, PM Oil, and Peridot Oil. It has generated more than 50 ESG reports, and achieved 90 per cent reduction in reporting time for clients.
“We are operating initially in Nigeria and broader African energy and consulting sectors,” Esho said. “Our platform is regulation-agnostic and designed to scale into Europe, Gulf markets, and emerging economies.”
Next up, Agorra AI plans to launch a self-serve SaaS platform, expand into the manufacturing, logistics, and finance sectors, and enter European and Middle East markets within 18–24 months.
