HLRBO, the leading online platform for hunting lease opportunities, is excited to announce the successful closing of its Series Seed 2 funding round, raising $600,000. The round was led by Great North Ventures. This brings the total capital raised by HLRBO’s seed funding to $1.6M from Great North Ventures, Comeback Capital, Rightside Capital, and Gopher Angels. This funding will accelerate HLRBO’s growth and fuel key initiatives in 2024 and beyond.
