Lifefactory gets seeded for green baby products
Lifefactory, the Sausalito, Calif.-based company that makes green consumer products for infants — primarily, environmentally-safe baby bottles for now — says it raised $750,000 in seed funds from Greenhouse Capital Partners. Before now, the company, formerly known as Babylife, depended on contributions from family and friends.
Lifefactory sells its product through about 500 retail stores and online vendors in the U.S., Canada and Europe — including Nordstrom, Gap and Amazon.
