Securing Business Funding in the Cannabis Industry
February 3, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join A Green Legacy’s launch event to hear from a panel of cannabis entrepreneurs as they share how they found funding for their business.
About this Event
Getting capital for your business usually includes a loan from the bank and maybe a friends and family round of investing, right?
But what happens when banks are timid or aren’t an option at all because the business is a not-federally-legal cannabis business or is a newly regulated CBD/Hemp business?
What happens when the friends and family round of funding doesn’t cut it and biases in banking and venture capital present you with roadblocks?
Join A Green Legacy’s launch event where we’ll talk about the facts and a panel of BIPOC cannabis trailblazers will share what they’ve learned as entrepreneurs, and how they successfully funded their cannabis business.
This is an inclusive event open to anyone including those who are current or aspiring cannabis/CBD/hemp entrepreneurs, investors, folx who are figuring out entrepreneurial options, and those who care about the future of cannabis.
Thanks to our sponsor PAX we’ll be giving away a PAX 3 during the event!
