The Technology team advised Komaza on its $28 million Series B equity financing.
Komaza is a tech-enabled, sustainable forestry company that is revolutionizing the wood industry in Africa through its innovative smallholder platform. The Kenya-based company has planted over 6 million trees with 25,000 smallholder farmers to date, with annual plantings nearly doubling Kenya’s rate of commercial tree planting.
With continued investment and support from Komaza’s Series A lead Novastar Ventures, this financing round was co-led by Novastar LPs AXA Investment Managers (through the AXA Impact Fund: Climate & Biodiversity), and the Dutch development bank FMO, with further participation by Mirova’s Land Degradation Neutrality Fund.
The Goodwin team was led by Kristin Gerber and Julia White.
