Vertical Companies
Vertical Companies announced that it has raised $58 million in its Series A Financing Round. Originally the company set out to raise $35 million, but later raised the goal by $20 million due to investor demand. “Although early on we thought we might get broader institutional support based on their interest, the federal prohibition kept those funds out of our reach,” said Smoke Wallin, Vertical Companies President, in a statement. “In spite of those challenges, it is terrific that we have such broad-based investor support from the Merida team as well as high-net-worth individuals and family offices. Closing out at $58m with such investor momentum helps propel the company forward as we scale our commercial operations with a keen focus on execution.”
