PittMoss, with a $7 million valuation cap, is raising funds on Republic. The company makes next-generation soils that are good for the plants and the planet. The PittMoss soils are made from upcycled material and allow more air, water, and nutrients to reach the plants. The products of PittMoss are made from locally-sourced ingredients, like organic paper waste, which are then broken down, processed, and recycled. PittMoss was founded by Mont Handley in January 2015 and has raised over $4.45 million since its inception. The current round of crowdfunding has a minimum goal of $25,000 and a maximum goal of $1,070,000, and the proceeds will be used to expand the sales, marketing, production, and distribution efforts. PittMoss is already selling in more than 150 stores in 22 states of the US and has generated over $900,000 in revenue to date.
