I had the chance to sit down 1on1 with TemperPack co-CEO Brian Powers. In our conversation, we talked social entrepreneurship, venture capital and the future of sustainability.Last month, the sustainable packaging start-up closed a $22.5 million Series B, led by billionaire Steve Case's Revolution Growth, bringing its total funding to $40 million.
The story TemperPack was founded in 2015 as a partnership between two friends from Maryland and a third colleague from school, the company was born out of a desire to reduce the amount of unsustainable packaging that correlated with the growing world of e-commerce delivery.
The products TemperPack launched ClimaCell© in 2018. ClimaCell© is a bio-foam material made primarily from plant starch in our proprietary formula. They also produce JootBox©, which is a 100% recycled joot fiber that is recycled from used burlap sacks.
