What replanthemp does

RePlant Hemp Advisors LLC is a Fleetwood, Pennsylvania-based investment adviser that manages RePlant Hemp Impact Fund 1, LP, a venture capital impact fund focused on industrial hemp technologies and the development of a North American hemp supply chain. The fund targets climate-smart technology investments across five end-markets — construction (hempcrete), automotive (natural-fiber composites and bio-graphite for EVs), food and nutrition (plant-based protein), bioplastics, and clean energy/biofuels. Portfolio thesis centers on commercializing established and emerging hemp biobased technologies, including decortication (post-harvest separation of seed, bast fiber, and hurd), hempcrete building materials, hemp fiber composites, and the derivation of graphite from hemp biomass as an alternative to mined graphite. Subadviser Merida Capital Holdings LLC provides the data-driven investment process and institutional deal flow, with Mitchell Baruchowitz and Mina Mishrikey leading investment activity; cofounder and president Geoff Whaling provides decades of hemp industry relationships and policy access (including involvement in drafting the Growing Climate Solutions Act). The fund raises capital from impact and ESG-mandated accredited investors exclusively through the Entoro Offerboard platform, and targets exits via acquisitions or IPOs as portfolio companies reach commercial scale.
