• Juul is working with Jefferies on fundraising $1B. Last year, they almost went bankrupt. The valuation would be *substantially* lower than the $38B it was once valued at.

  Conserves launched a produce tote, and yesterday, Fishwife launched one. While we’re looking at these, read this awesome story about the creatives behind the tinned fish revival. U.S. canned seafood sales soared by 9.7% to $2.7 billion in 2022 — a huge part of that was because of highly visual social media marketing. And while we’re here, about an hour ago, East Fork just announced a collab with Fishwife.
