World Tree, with a pre-money valuation of $8.42 million, is raising funds on WeFunder. The company plants Empress Splendor trees in North and Latin America to reverse climate change. The Empress trees also answer global demand for sustainable hardwood. World Tree gives the trees to the farmers at no cost and also trains them to take care of them. World Tree was founded by Wendy Burton and has already planted 2000 acres with over $2.7 million raised since its inception. The current crowdfunding round has a minimum target of $250,000 and a maximum target of $10,000,000, and every $3,000 raised will be used to plant another acre of Empress Splendor. World Tree is using trees to protect the environment and offset our carbon footprint.

Other Information
Update
After further research, KingsCrowd has determined that this raise uses a revenue share model, rather than providing investors with direct equity. Investing in this raise helps World Tree plant the Empress Splendor tree, and investors receive 25% of the revenue from the trees’ harvest in 10 years. As a result, KingsCrowd has turned off ratings for this raise as our algorithm is currently only built for equity-based deals.
Founder Profile
Founder Profile: World Tree
The team at World Tree wants to enter the hardwood market all while making an ecological impact on the world.
