In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, co-founder and CEO, Scott McCulloch, said: “We completed a successful rewards-based crowdfunding campaign at the back end of 2018 and since then we’ve received a lot of questions on when we would be doing an equity raise and when customers could buy shares.
“We are delighted to announce that the time has now come. Our community is at the heart of absolutely everything we do and we are completely focused on improving access to a vegan and plant-based lifestyle.
“The support that we’ve received to date is nothing short of extraordinary and we can’t think of a better way to say thank you than to give our community a chance to join us for the next step of our journey and be a part of the future of food.”
