Recompose, a Seattle DeathTech startup, announced a crowdfunding campaign to raise $5M.
The company seeks to use composting to upend a $20B funeral industry.
- Recompose previously raised $17M, without venture capital firm participation, through donors and clients of financial advisors.
- Human composting was legalized in Washington state in May 2019, followed by California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, and New York.
- The
company is one of several DeathTech startups that have emerged in the
Pacific Northwest, including Solace, which takes the funeral planning
experience online, and Titan Casket, which raised $3.5M to accelerate
the supply chain by going direct-to-consumer.
