TRIADA EV · Transportation

TRIADA EV

Country: El Salvador · San Salvador Category: Transportation Impact Areas: Mitigation Stage: Ideation Team Size: 3 Website: —

Elevator Pitch

TRIADA EV is a fintech platform democratizing EVs using ‘Investment Cells,’ where 3 person groups co-finance one unit. Using social collateral to cut credit risk and a 24/7 triple-shift model, we maximize ROI and carbon savings in emerging markets.

Climate Problem

We target tailpipe emissions from El Salvador’s urban fleets. With over 90% of transport relying on fossil fuels, the transition is blocked by high EV costs. Failing to switch means rising urban heat and missing national carbon neutrality targets.

Solution

We target tailpipe emissions from El Salvador’s urban fleets. With over 90% of transport relying on fossil fuels, the transition is blocked by high costs. Failing to switch means rising urban heat and missing national carbon neutrality targets.

Revenue Model

Revenue is generated through premium EV leasing contracts with Investment Cells. This all-inclusive monthly fee covers the financing margin, management services, and integrated IoT monitoring for 24/7 fleet optimization.

Target Market

Our target market includes urban micro-entrepreneurs and gig-economy drivers in El Salvador who lack individual credit access. By forming Investment Cells, they can transition from gasoline-based rentals to collective ownership of high-yield EVs.

Social Impact

People Living in Extreme Poverty

Demand Evidence

Demand is evidenced by the high rental costs and credit barriers faced by current gig drivers. Our data from Smartdrive shows a strong interest in shifting to EVs for lower fuel costs, but a lack of financing models for groups, which TRIADA EV solves.

Competitors

Direct competitors include traditional car rental agencies and bank-financed ICE fleets. Locally, while EV importers are emerging, no one offers a group-based social collateral model or 24/7 managed fleet operations specifically for gig-entrepreneurs.

Founder Expertise

I bring direct experience in the EV sector as a capital investor and employee at the first EV company in El Salvador. My background in high-volume trade and financial modeling allows me to execute the Triada EV business layer.

External Support

"We leverage the logistical and technical infrastructure of our partner Smartdrive for EV management. Additionally, we operate under the legal framework of El Salvador’s Law for the Promotion of Electric Transportation, providing key fiscal incentives."

VOSCREAS · Food & Agriculture

VOSCREAS

Country: El Salvador · Santa Tecla Category: Food & Agriculture Impact Areas: Circular Economy Stage: Ideation Team Size: 2 Website: —

Elevator Pitch

VOSCREAS is an enterprise dedicated to finding solutions to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change. We seek to utilize renewable energy sources and biomass for useful products without harmful residues or greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Problem

We want to convert the invasive aquatic plant, water hyacinth into biodegradable plastics and to create biochar for climate change mitigation. The hyacinth has an intense carbon capture capacity. We seek to sequester the carbon long-term via biochar.

Solution

By converting infestations of hyacinth into bioplastics and biochar we are supporting aquatic ecosystem functioning, removing atmospheric carbon, generating biological life and water retention in soils and creating an alternative to conventional plastics.

Revenue Model

We hope to generate revenue via foundations, interested investors and carbon credits in the voluntary market. We feel that the project is viable fulfilling clear demands. Our strategic alliance with HyaPak of Kenya is a powerful plus given great success.

Target Market

We will target supermarkets and enterprises that use plastic bags. We will make Styrofoam substitutes for food dispensers. We will appeal to universities and institutions opposed to plastics. Re: biochar, we will target farmers, landscapers and nurseries.

Social Impact

Indigenous Peoples, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women, LGBTQI+ People

Demand Evidence

There is a general revulsion to conventional plastics given their visceral effects in rivers, reservoirs, highways, streets, beaches etc. There are promising initiatives to make single use plastics illegal. That would be a tremendous boost for the project

Competitors

There is no commercial promotion of truly ecological bioplastics or biochar. The biochar will admittedly need campaigns of promotion.

Founder Expertise

I worked for over a decade on environmental and climate issues. I conducted extensive campaigns in favor of alternatives. I help to coordinate national and international players for effective technical assistance. I am a team player to fulfill our needs.

External Support

We have not received financial support. We do have important technical backing from the faculties of engineering and agronomy of the National University. We also have backing of HyaPak winner of the UNEP prize for conversion of hyacinth into bioplastics.

NUTRICHAR · Air & Environment (App 8684)

NUTRICHAR

Country: El Salvador · San Salvador Este Category: Air & Environment Impact Areas: Mitigation, Adaptation, Circular Economy Stage: Ideation Team Size: 3 Website: —

Elevator Pitch

Nutrichar transforms coconut waste into high-tech biochar, enriched with nutrients and nanostructures to regenerate soil. Our solution permanently sequesters carbon and boosts agricultural productivity through rigorous scientific methods.

Climate Problem

We address soil degradation and the surplus of coconut waste, which emits methane as it decomposes. Nutrichar permanently sequesters carbon and reduces the use of chemicals, which is vital for agricultural resilience and global climate mitigation.

Solution

We transform coconut husks into biochar enriched with nutrients and nanostructures. In practice, we sequester carbon from waste and restore soil health, reducing our reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Revenue Model

Our main source of revenue is the direct sale of enriched biochar to coffee and cocoa farms with which we already have development agreements. We will also expand into remediation companies and the sale of carbon credits.

Target Market

Our target market consists of coffee and cocoa exporters, farms growing staple crops, and soil remediation companies. We focus on high-value agriculture that requires soil regeneration and scientific validation.

Social Impact

Indigenous Peoples, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women

Demand Evidence

We validate market demand through agreements with coffee and cocoa farms for field trials, as they understand the benefits of biochar during periods of water stress and in the face of environmental and soil issues that necessitate soil regeneration

Competitors

We compete with traditional synthetic fertilizers and small-scale biochar producers. There are no competitors in the area that match our level of scientific rigor or our use of nanostructures, graphene, and mycorrhizae for nutrient enrichment.

Founder Expertise

We offer training in strategic thinking, business models, and digital marketing. We also bring technical leadership in advanced biotechnology (graphene, nanostructures) and strategic partnerships for scientific validation in the field.

External Support

We have agreements with coffee and cocoa farms for field validation. The Gloria de Kriete Foundation connects us with producers of staple crops, and Jorge Cuadra leads technical development in nanostructures, mycorrhizae, and graphene.
