I shared my thoughts on fundraising amid market volatility and how at @northstarmoney we’ve seen financial wellness is countercyclical––much needed in good times, and even more needed during bad times: https://t.co/mt3EiOnT8D

Grateful for @bayareawriter for covering our story, values, and vision so well! We've been floored by the response from investors and customers, especially in this tough economic environment.

@triketora We have 50+ plants, and use terracotta spikes like these: https://t.co/uJcb9u7gE3

No electricity required, capacity depends on the container they're connected to. We sometimes put multiple in the same pot if the pot is large.
