The LeafLink Community is flourishing, consumers are asking for more, and the industry itself has grown 60% since the beginning of the year with no signs of slowing down,” Leaflink CEO Ryan Smith told Benzinga. “For LeafLink, partnering with a leading tech VC fund like Founders Fund is key as we look to plans for 2021 and beyond. We’re thrilled to be driving significant change to our industry and that we have a partner like Founders Fund to help us do that.”
