Given my astute ability at sniffing out BS, people often reach out to me asking me for recommendations on which companies to invest in. I decided to call upon my favorite, and most trusted wealth advisor, Colby Mcfadden of Quiver Financial and Green Flower Media, to make a series about investing in the cannabis industry to better educate myself, and the masses alike. Let me know what you think!
List of Topics/subjects discussed
- Private vs Public
- Why do private companies go public?
- What kind of Investor do you want to be?
- Investment stages - where do you fit in?
- Beware of the bankers telling private companies to go public - they have ulterior motives!
- What are some of the ancillary sectors adjacent to the cannabis industry looking for investment?
- Why you need to create a due diligence team to avoid the snakes and vipers in the private industry
3 Lessons Learned
- Only invest in private deals where you can AFFORD the risk. If you’re not an accredited investor, you better do your homework!
- If you’re going to invest your hard-earned money into a venture, spend the money on someone with expertise to vet it.
- Always remember “As is the inside, so is the outside”
