RALEIGH — CompostNow, a startup that offers home, office or restaurant delivery of composting bins, regular pick-up of composted material and delivery of soil to be used in home or community gardens, is attracting more interest from investors.
The Raleigh-based firm has raised $$1.97 million, according to securities filings.
Eight investors contributed to the round, with a $50,000 minimum investment accepted from any outside investor.
