Connect and Advisory
Connect digitises trade, with Advisory alongside. Rooted in fibre and textiles, and expanding to new commodities.
Our Purpose. Our Path.
What drives us, where we are going and how we get there.
Our Mission
Unlock agriculture's potential for people and planet.
We bring producers, manufacturers, traders and brands onto Connect to trade with more transparency, efficiency, trust and profit, backed by verified impact.
Our Vision
Transform trade for good.
A commodity trade that is more transparent, efficient, trusted and inclusive, and delivers more value to everyone who produces, processes, ships and relies on it.
Our Approach
Built for the trade, by the trade.
Deeper engagement, true collaboration and shared ownership. Partners share the risk, the reward and the company itself.
Why try to beat the competition when you can rewrite the rules.
W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, Blue Ocean Strategy
From Push to Pull.
Traditional commodity trade is complex, fragmented and not built for traceability or verified impact. Connect moves supply chains to a more agile, pull-based model.

Owned by the people who trade on it.
Up to 75% of Sourcery is reserved for its Partners. Partners earn their share through Equity Credits as they trade on Connect, or invest directly to take a larger stake. Founders and investors hold the remaining 25%.
Why Member-Owned
Owned by the Trade.
Built to Last.
Commodity trade runs on trust, and a platform owned by the people who use it earns that trust. Like ports and payment networks, trade infrastructure works best when everyone can use it and no single player controls it.
Partners advise through the Membership Council, and Equity Credits reward transparent, high-quality trade. Members who own the network don’t leave it. They grow it.
- Shared Global InfrastructureOne set of rails for the whole chain, controlled by no single player.
- Your Data, Your AssetPartners own and control their data in their Partner Data Vault (PDV).
- Trust and NeutralityNo single buyer, trader or brand can tilt the platform.
- Shared AccountabilityOwners have a stake in getting it right.
- Value That CompoundsEvery Partner who joins adds value for all, and owns a share of it.
