Terraseed is a direct-to-consumer company producing vegan multivitamins and supplements, emphasizing ethical sourcing, animal welfare, and sustainability through fully biodegradable packaging. It serves vegan and plant-based consumers by addressing nutritional gaps—such as vitamins D3, B12, and omegas—while tackling industry issues like animal testing, plastic waste (over 2 billion bottles annually in the U.S.), and environmental harm from overharvesting.[1][2][3][5] The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum, achieving over $380K in gross revenue in 2024 (25% YoY growth from 2023), breaking even in January 2024, selling over 10,000 bottles, and maintaining a 5.5:1 lifetime value to customer acquisition cost ratio with average subscriptions lasting 349 days.[3][4]
Terraseed was founded in 2020 (initially launched as Earthseed in 2019) by Maria Cebrian and Hava Horowitz, former colleagues turned entrepreneurs, with a mission to end animal suffering and plastic pollution in the supplement industry.[1][2][4] Cebrian, a veteran entrepreneur and Forbes 1000 honoree, previously sold her Spanish-language yoga platform Aomm.tv to Gaia in 2017 and led Gaia's international expansion.[1] The idea emerged from their commitment to vegan ethics and sustainability, debuting with The Complete Multivitamin for Vegans in April 2020, followed by a kids' version.[2][3] Early traction included awards like the NEXTY Award for Best New Environmentally Responsible Packaging (2020), second place in Naturally Boulder Pitch Slam, and selection as the first vegan company in Techstars Accelerator (2021), which helped raise initial funding.[1][2]
Terraseed rides the surging plant-based and sustainability trends in health tech, where vegan products are gaining tech investor attention amid rising consumer demand for ethical wellness—exemplified by its Techstars selection and competition with firms like Ritual and Future Kind.[2][4] Timing aligns with post-2020 momentum in DTC supplements, amplified by eco-conscious shopping and regulations on plastic waste, positioning it to disrupt an industry producing 2.4 billion plastic bottles yearly.[2][5] By pioneering biodegradable packaging and vegan innovation, Terraseed influences the ecosystem through awards, accelerator networks, and collaborative sustainability advice to peers, pushing competitors toward ethical practices.[1][2]
Terraseed's path forward includes scaling DTC and Amazon channels, expanding product lines (e.g., kids' multivitamin), and leveraging its break-even status and high LTV for further growth amid vegan market expansion.[1][3] Trends like sustainability mandates, plant-based adoption, and tech accelerators will propel it, potentially evolving from niche innovator to industry standard-setter via larger funding rounds and partnerships.[2][4] This sustainability pioneer, born from ethical conviction, is primed to redefine supplements—proving mission-driven tech can deliver both planetary impact and profitable scale.[3]
Terraseed has raised $120K across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $120K Seed in January 2021.
