Cox Enterprises, a privately held global conglomerate, led a $100m Series E round in BrightFarms, a next-generation indoor farming company, with participation from growth equity firm Catalyst Investors. "Our goal over the next five years is to make quality, locally-grown greens a staple on grocery shelves and in refrigerators nationwide. We are thrilled to have the strong financial backing of Cox Enterprises, an organization that closely aligns with our mission to build a healthier and more sustainable future, and to have the additional support of our long-term partners at Catalyst Investors. Together we are ready to scale our model for local indoor farming in every major market in the US," Steve Platt, BrightFarms CEO.
