According to Green Market Report, Viridian Capital Advisors recently reported that fundraising in the cannabis industry has slowed down. Retail and Cultivation businesses are still the most popular for raising money, but there have been fewer fundraising events overall compared to the past year. What does this mean for your business? While you must adapt to these changes, this is also an opportunity for strategic growth and market evolution. Smaller businesses can quickly pivot strategies, products, and operations, unlike larger corporations. Use these strengths to the best of your ability. Specialized accountants can help you navigate the endless changes in the cannabis industry. What are your thoughts on fundraising in the cannabis industry and what needs to be changed?

This reminder is to all Cannabis Business Boot Camp participants! Thursday, June 27th, at 6pm is a special live interactive class presentation on preparing to raise capital with The Arcview Group, customized to Connecticut laws and regulations and participant progress in fundraising and licensing. Come with your questions, we are here to help and look forward to seeing you there! #CTEquityProgram #Bootcamp #Accelerator #fundraising #OU #Cannabis

Raising money in cannabis is close to impossible → But that doesn't mean you give up → If you're struggling to get those funds listen up Here's the problem: → You don't know what you don't know → You're often asking for the wrong amount → And all you talk about is fancy tech or features → When you should be focused on the $$ outcomes Instead, you need to: → Structure the ask so it makes sense → Reboot your entire presentation to be benefit oriented → Make sure you're presenting to the people who can write the check Luckily this is something I've done time and time again with clients. I've sold 22 companies with this exact formula and have raised millions in the process. Here are some examples: → Female CEO raised $2 million for her venture → $2.5 million raise for a cannabis adjacent platform → $6 million raise with a vertically integrated cannabis company → Term sheet for a distribution deal in Germany due to a deck revamp This is what I do. This is what WE do. If you're facing trouble raising money, DM me "Solution" and we'll get started.

We are three years into legalization and the conditional program. The MRTA calls for no and low interest loans, incubators, and funding assistance for Social and Economic Equity adult-use cannabis Licensees. Social and Economic Equity applicants have been sidelined, waiting for three years to enter. What programs are funded in the budget for them? Which cannabis focused community and charitable organizations established to specifically help the SEE licensee and applicants are receiving funding? How many incubator programs will be able to begin developing with State funds? Which of your representatives championed social and economic equity by ensuring these MRTA mandated requirements were finally implemented? Medical Cannabis has been allotted $7M, so if its based on the most needy, it must be looking tight out there for the community right? Let's talk about the environment now shall we? We are drinking soggy straws, banning packaging, and imposing fees on existing businesses because they contribute to the climate crisis. So how much funding goes into developing a brand new industry not built on the same unsustainable practices? How much was set aside for that? #takenotesforelectionnight #regenerative #buylocal #smokelocal #whatajoke #nysisaheartbreaker

When should we assure we have FTO for our private biotech company? This a question that arises often.. I have heard it many times in my >20 years of practice as a biotech patent attorney representing target private biotech companies, or their potential investors or acquirers, in many corporate transactions. Short Answer: FTO for a private biotech company: ? Multi-stage process that should be started early in company/product development. ? Update periodically to gain the right level of confidence during different product development and company funding stages. ? Leads up to a signoff deadline before product/process designs are locked. ? Continues post-launch: → Avoids difficult surprises. → Assure proper action is taken on competitive patents that may issue.
