The Company’s sustainably-minded team is guided by the pioneering vision of founder and CEO, Kari Warberg Block who was recently featured in Business NC Magazine:
“EarthKind’s CEO splits her time between Bismarck, N.D., and Mooresville, where EarthKind is manufactured. In between was the hard work of bringing a nontoxic, nonlethal product to an industry that has mostly thrived on extermination. EarthKind’s pouches of herbal mixes are on hardware-store shelves at Lowe’s and Ace. Block has grown the company into a $10 million entity since discovering that balsam fir essential oil and ground-up corncobs repel mice effectively. Though EarthKind is headquartered in North Dakota, 38 of its 42 employees are in North Carolina. Block hopes to take the company global with the help of EarthKind’s first outside investor.”
Scale Finance CFO & Partner, Bill Schiffli, serves as contract CFO for EarthKind® and advised the Company on its successful growth capital raise throughout the transaction process.
