## About

Based in Durham, US, and founded in 2021 by Josh Dorfman (CEO), Haude Tan, and Nate Silvernail, Plantd, Inc. transforms homebuilding through low-cost, structurally superior, carbon-negative materials made from renewable grass. In September 2025, Plantd, Inc. raised USD 22 million in series B funding from unspecified investors.

Plantd, Inc. is a manufacturer of building materials for carbon-negative and sustainable homebuilding. Furthermore, the products of the company are designed with industrial hemp and renewable grass to ensure that atmospheric carbon captured in the field is locked away inside the walls and floors of new homes, allowing clients to ensure cost control, carbon removal, and optimal material performance.

Plantd generates revenue by manufacturing and selling carbon-negative building materials from perennial grass to homebuilders, leveraging sustainable construction partnerships and vertically integrated production.

The company plans to use the January 2023 funding to establish its agriculture supply chain and build the first-of-its-kind, modular automated continuous press for engineered building materials.
