Investment in Freddie’s Flowers by The Craftory
Freddie’s Flowers, a flower box subscription brand business, secured a USD 60 million investment from The Craftory. Freddie’s Flowers’ focus is on operating its business in a purpose-driven and sustainable way. Its ‘grow to order’ model ensures growers only cut the flowers they need, thereby significantly reducing waste. This model perfectly aligns with The Craftory’s ESG investment hypothesis. We performed buy-side financial due diligence.
