Gardenuity—a high-tech gardening platform with a wellness mission—has harvested new capital to fuel growth, according to an Axios report. And its visibility is blooming nationwide thanks to recent inclusion in major media gift guides.
Last year, Dallas Innovates introduced you to Preston just after the SMU grad had launched Afloat, an app that lets users send curated gifts from local retailers with same or next-day delivery. Just over a year after launching, Afloat now has 10 employees, 12,000 users, and connections to 70 local business in Dallas and Kansas City, the Dallas Morning News reports—and is looking to raise $3 million in growth funding after earlier raising over $1.5 million.
Six members of the North Texas Angel Network invested in Gardenuity via AngelList, an investment platform that allows individual NTAN members to invest as a single entity in startups.
