ZinkoTek gets $2M for recyclable toys
ZinkoTek, a San Francisco-based startup that makes environmentally friendly toys for children, has taken a first round of funding.
The company’s building blocks, which operate via the same basic concepts as Legos but are much larger, are made from the same recyclable foam that is used for other products like Crocs shoes, according to VentureWire, which first reported the funding.
The $2 million funding was an angel round, provided by private investors.
