– USA, GA – Surterra Wellness, one of the fastest growing health and wellness companies in the United States, today announced the initial closing of a $100 million Series D funding round and the expansion of its Board of Directors.

“This significant financing reflects Surterra’s ability to attract a sophisticated, curated investor group who trust our vision, business model and financial track record.

Surterra welcomes two strategic additions to its Board of Directors, with Ed Brown and Kevin Fisher joining.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ed and Kevin to Surterra’s Board of Directors. Ed’s distinctive expertise in the alcohol, beverage and consumer packaged goods industry and Kevin’s gold-standard cannabis operations and market building experience significantly expand our leadership bench strength. We look forward to their contributions as strategic members of both our executive team and Board of Directors as we accelerate our stride to become a leading global cannabis health and wellness company,” said Wrigley.
Surterra has raised over $300 million in private capital to date. The Series D funding follows a period of rapid growth for Surterra over the past few months, which has transformed the company into a multi-state cannabis health and wellness business operator with recognizable brands, a revenue-generating business strategy, and meaningful investments in people, science, technology, and innovation.
