I get so pumped when I see the power of raising money and investing it into the companies who are creating the future of cannabis, hemp, and in many cases CPG, medicine and wellness.

So much of finance is just re-engineering money and oftentimes taking advantage as the ones who hold all the cards. BUT in venture and private equity we are creating jobs, financing projects that impact all of our everyday lives and supporting those humans crazy enough to think they’re the 1% of founders who will make it.
Cresco’s Notable Exits:
CCP has had seven exits across its two existing funds, including major companies such as Acreage, Green Thumb Industries (GTI), Ebbu and Form Factory.
