SG Climate Tech startup Handprint raises US$2.2 million in Seed Funding Round

Singapore-based Climate technology startup Handprint has recently raised US$2.2 million in its seed funding round led by Thunes, a global payments platform along with participation from other undisclosed investors.

Handprint that builds sustainability infrastructure for the digital world will be using the fresh infusion of funds to expand its technology and grow its network of impact partners.
