The Technology team advised Halter on raising $220 million in Series E funding at a $2 billion valuation. The round was led by Founders Fund with participation from Blackbird, DCVC, Bond, Bessemer, NewView, Ubiquity, Promus, and Icehouse Ventures, as it continues to expand alongside the ranchers using Halter in their operations. The capital will be used to support the ranchers and farmers already using Halter and to extend it to more operations globally, with a continued focus on the people using it every day.
Founded in 2016, Halter is the leading operating system to run a dairy or beef farm. Thousands of farmers in New Zealand, Australia, and the US use Halter to run their farm, with new customers going live daily. Halter is headquartered in Auckland and employs over 400 people across New Zealand, Australia, and the US.
The Goodwin team was led by Craig Schmitz, Ria King, Ari Ghavami, Aoife Devereux, Seva Castleberry, Maggie Wong, Justin Pierce, Carrie Miller, Kevin Liu, Ora Grinberg, Paul Jin, and Kevin Walsh, with invaluable assistance from Christina Keeney.
