Earth Brands raises $2.5M

Big News, Earth Cuppers!

 

Over the past nine months we have grown immensely. What started as a garage filled with 100 boxes of Earth Cups has now transformed into a next-generation sustainable product company, Earth Brands. 

 

We are excited to announce that we have raised a round of funding of $2.5mm. While we have grown considerably since launching our eco-friendly Earth Cups in April 2021, this capital will be fundamental to our long-term scaling efforts. The funds will primarily be allocated to expanding our operations in the United States, research and development into new products and sustainable materials, our efforts to streamline the cup-purchasing model for college students, and building out our team. 

 

We’d like to thank Mark Cuban, Fort Lawton Capital, Yard by Yard LLC, and the several other investors who have put their faith in our vision to Make Sustainability Cool. As importantly, we’d like to thank our team, our interns, our ambassador network of 2000+ college students, and the next-generation consumers who choose our product over the harmful (and lame) plastic cups of our competitors. 

 

While our growth to date has been tremendous, this is just the beginning of our story. Today, as always, we are hiring; if you see a job opportunity on our career portal that excites you, come join us. Otherwise, grab some cups and join the movement, so we can #stopSolo together. #justthebeginning #EC2theMoon #DrinkSustainably
