StartEngine Campaign Launched

Earth Merchant is a pre-revenue company developing industrial hemp supply chain solutions and technology. In 2021, Earth Merchant received $100K in funding from the Environmental Protection Agency for research and development of hempcrete building products, and is now raising capital to advance to the prototype and production phases.

This week, Earth Merchant Inc. announced the launch of their Regulation Crowdfunding raise. Earth Merchant is the premier company creating a circular economy for hemp farming and the green building industry.

Earth Merchant (EM) has begun development of a scalable manufacturing system for the production of hempcrete blocks. Additionally, operations are supported by EM’s Farmer Network digital platform, which provides accountability, framework, data collection, and infrastructure for climate-smart farming.

With the help of StartEngine, Earth Merchant announces the commencement of their equity crowdfunding campaign.
“We’re looking to build a long-term relationship with our investors. We are creating a community of supporters that act as our brand advocates.” said Founder and CEO, Gina Engel.

Earth Merchant’s operations are U.S. based and take place at the hyperlocal level, working to eliminate the need to ship and transport materials across the country – a common practice that creates greenhouse gas emissions and negates the positive impact of many recycled or repurposed materials.

All farm partners are within a 100 mile radius of our processing and manufacturing hub, and products are distributed no more than 1,000 miles from each location.

Their multibranched approach to powering the industrial hemp and green building economy is to develop a climate-smart commodity supply chain with measurable environmental benefits at each link.

You might be familiar with crowdfunding but not equity crowdfunding. Equity crowdfunding gives companies of all types an opportunity to raise capital from the public.

Investors hold partial ownership in the company and have the opportunity to profit if the company does well. Needless to say, equity crowdfunding presents both entrepreneurs and investors with unprecedented opportunities.
