Raise Green Acquired by Honeycomb Credit
Merger/AcquisitionThe climate-focused crowdfunding platform was acquired by Honeycomb Credit. Honeycomb announced on its website that it has acquired Raise Green. The Raise Green website will no longer operate independently and all current and future offerings will be transitioned to the Honeycomb platform. Additionally, Honeycomb will manage all repayments for investments in Raise Green raises. George Cook, CEO of Honeycomb, said, “Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new chapter as Honeycomb Credit and Raise Green join forces to bring together Main Street investing and climate-focused projects. This opportunity will allow us to expand into climate-focused initiatives while continuing to support the local economy.” Jackie Logan, President of Raise Green, added, “With Honeycomb, we can now combine local small businesses funding with investments focused on sustainability and climate action, allowing investors to make an impact both locally and globally.” The investments made in Raise Green itself through its crowdfunding on Wefunder will remain unaffected by the acquisition. Further details regarding the investments will soon be provided to the investors through an official notification providing detailed guidance on the process to follow.
