Micah Tapman, CanopyBoulder Partner & Program Manager agrees, “We have several companies in the cohort who have already raised between 50%-90% of their round. This clearly demonstrates that the cannabis industry is ready for investment and that investors are ready to act. It’s created such great energy prior to the two major industry conferences — ArcView Denver and The National Cannabis Industry Association Business Summit and Expo.”
