We Understand the Challenges
The Problems We Solve for Producers
The Problem
You produce exceptional coffee but have no direct access to the specialty buyers who would pay a premium for it.
Our Solution
Your lots are visible to specialty roasters, importers, and buying cooperatives across the US. AI-powered trade matching connects you with buyers seeking your specific profile.
The Problem
Brokers and middlemen take large margins, and you never see the final price your coffee sells for.
Our Solution
We publish the full price waterfall from farmgate to delivered cost. Buyers see exactly what you earn. Our flat 5% platform fee is the same for everyone.
The Problem
You ship coffee and wait weeks or months for payment, with no guarantee it will arrive on time or in full.
Our Solution
Milestone-based payments release funds at each stage: 30% on contract, 50% on Bill of Lading, 20% on delivery. Multi-rail payouts support ETB, USD, and 80+ currencies.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I list my coffee on Collective Genesis?
Register as a producer, submit your verification documents, and complete identity verification. Once approved (typically within 48 hours), you can upload lot details, quality data, and certifications. Independent Q-graders will cup your coffee and publish SCA scores on your lot page.
How does milestone-based payment protection work?
Payments are released in three stages tied to verifiable milestones: 30% on contract signing, 50% when the Bill of Lading is issued, and 20% upon warehouse receipt confirmation. This protects both buyers and producers by linking payment to documented progress through the supply chain.
What payout methods are available for Ethiopian producers?
We support multi-rail payouts including Flutterwave for Ethiopian Birr (ETB) disbursement, Airwallex for 60+ countries, Stripe Connect, and Wise for 80+ corridors. The platform automatically routes to the best available provider based on your location and currency.
How does Collective Genesis verify quality claims?
All lots are cupped by independent SCA-certified Q-graders and tested at ISO 17025-accredited laboratories. Results include moisture content, water activity, density, and defect counts. These verified scores are published alongside the lot listing so buyers can trust the quality data.
Is there a cost to list my lots?
Listing your lots on the platform is completely free. We charge a flat 5% platform fee only when a transaction occurs. There are no listing fees, monthly subscription fees, or hidden charges for producers.
How does trade matching work?
Our AI-powered trade matching engine analyzes buyer preferences (origin, process, score range, volume) and matches them with your available lots. When a buyer profile fits your coffee, both parties are notified with a compatibility score breakdown.
