| Sep 2022 | Series E | Ares Management (lead); BMO Capital Markets (lead); Kimco Realty; Rock Creek; Common Fund; Manna Tree; Silverman Group | $310M | - | Gotham Greens, a New York-based indoor farming pioneer and Certified B Corporation, operates one of the largest networks of high-tech hydroponic greenhouses in North America, producing fresh leafy greens year-round. The company raised more than $310 million in a Series E funding round (noted as Debt - II in some sources) on September 12, 2022, led by BMO Impact Investment Fund and Ares Management, with participation from Commonfund, RockCreek, Kimco Realty Corporation, Manna Tree Partners, and The Silverman Group. This brought total funding to $440 million since its 2009 founding. Proceeds from the round supported construction of new greenhouses in Seagoville, Texas (near Dallas), Monroe, Georgia (near Atlanta), and Windsor, Colorado (near Denver), expansions at existing facilities in Chicago and Providence, R.I., and future projects and acquisitions. A key use was the first-ever acquisition of FresH2O Growers, a 540,000-square-foot operation in Virginia, immediately doubling production capacity and filling gaps between Northeast and Southeast markets. By 2023, Gotham Greens aimed to operate 13 climate-controlled hydroponic greenhouses totaling over 40 acres across nine states, targeting delivery of its produce within a day's drive to 90% of U.S. consumers. Products are distributed to over 3,000 grocery stores nationwide, including Whole Foods, Kroger, Albertsons, and Amazon Fresh. CEO Viraj Puri highlighted strong unit economics, with greenhouses described as profitable and capable of efficient capital stewardship, attracting interest from pension funds, insurance funds, and asset managers amid climate, supply chain, and pandemic challenges. The round included both equity and debt financing, positioning Gotham Greens among major controlled environment agriculture (CEA) fundraises, following a sector that raised $1.3 billion in 2021. |

In 2020, Gotham Greens raised $87 million in a Series D funding round led by Manna Tree Partners with participation from The Silverman Group, bringing total financing to $130 million since inception. The capital included equity and debt and was intended to fuel U.S. expansion, decentralize food production, increase output at existing greenhouses, and develop new products.

Around the 2020 funding, Gotham Greens reported doubling its revenue in the past year, with unit sales at retailers up 80% year-over-year and over 1,000 new retail points added since January, operating in more than 40 states. The company continued growing post-2020, raising $310 million in a 2022 Series E round led by BMO Impact Investment Fund and Ares Management, joined by Manna Tree, Silverman Group, and others, to support new greenhouses, expansions, and the acquisition of FresH2O Growers, doubling production capacity and bringing total financing to $440 million. |
