Overview

Client

A Friendlier Company Inc.

On August 18, 2025, A Friendlier Company Inc. (“Friendlier”), a Canadian cleantech company focused on reusable packaging, raised $4.5 million in equity financing to accelerate its mission of reducing single-use waste in the food service industry. The round was co-led by Good & Well and Relay Ventures, with participation from Garage Capital and several angel investors.

The funding will support the deployment of Friendlier’s reusable container system into new environments, including catering, hot beverages, and retail grab-and-go, and expand its network of proprietary micro-sanitation hubs. 

Fasken advised Friendlier with a team comprised of Will Shaw and Alec McIlwraith-Black.
