Equity Method Investments

As of March 31, 2024, we owned 4,325 shares of common stock of Tractor Beverages, Inc. (“Tractor”). Our investment represents ownership of approximately 10.2% of Tractor, and we have invested total cash consideration of $10,000. As we are a significant customer of Tractor and maintain board representation, we are accounting for our investment under the equity method. There were no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023, associated with this equity method investment. The investment in common stock is included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $8,376 and $8,896 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 13. “Related Party Transactions” for related party disclosures.

Other Investments

As of March 31, 2024, we hold warrants (the “Tractor Warrants”) to purchase 2,162 shares of common stock of Tractor. Tractor is a privately held company, and as such, the Tractor Warrants represent non-marketable equity securities. The investment is included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $8,675 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, we owned 766 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of Nuro, Inc. (“Nuro”). Our investment represents a minority interest and we have determined that we do not have significant influence over Nuro. Nuro is a privately held company, and as such, the preferred shares comprising our investment are illiquid and fair value is not readily determinable. As of March 31, 2024, we have recognized a cumulative gain of $5,968 related to our investment in Nuro due to observable transactions in prior periods. The investment is included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $15,968 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024, we held additional investments in other entities through the Cultivate Next Fund. These additional investments are included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $22,221 and $21,221 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
