We want to help you attract the right kind of investor, so our process is a little different. We start by understanding your values, vision, and the current financial metrics of your business. We combine this information with our own market research and data to create a customized financial model and compelling investment narrative. The result: a powerful story that conveys your vision and the future financials of your business.

The work doesn’t stop there—we’ll help you understand the calculations, financing terminology, and valuation behind everything we’re presenting. We’ll also work with you throughout the capital raising and negotiating process to ensure that equity terms are established in a quantitative valuation and incentives are aligned. This process is about more than just raising money; we are creating a blueprint for your future and determining the direction in which your business will set sail. Let’s do it the right way.

Our projections are based on data drawn from real cultivation and dispensary facilities, cutting-edge market data, and inputs tailored to each client’s business plan and objectives. We have a deep understanding of the nationwide cannabis market and are constantly aggregating and analyzing data to determine what it will look like in the future.  The model is a powerful tool that can be used to apply for a license, solicit investment, and plan for your business and capital needs.

Financial models

We specialize in building financial models for cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, and retail facilities. We also create customized models for cannabis-infused/edibles producers and agricultural equipment manufacturers. Our models provide customized pro forma financials for your company for the first five years of operations.

Business plans

A business plan is a detailed narrative that that presents the vision and objective of your business, the plan and capital needed to achieve your goals, and the financial returns this business will likely generate in the future. We’ll use the projections generated from the financial model to create a compelling investment thesis and then provide supplementary information about your market, competitors, and product offering.

A business plan is most commonly suited for businesses seeking to submit a license application, create a Private Placement Memorandum, or apply for a loan. If you are seeking to raise less than $1MM, you may be better served by a Pitch Deck or Investment Memorandum. 

Our business plans typically follow the below format but are available for customization based on your needs:  

• Executive Summary & Investment Opportunity
•  Industry Analysis
• Macro Industry Analysis
• Micro Industry Analysis
•  The Facility: Build-Out & Development Plan
• Company Description
• Product Niche & Description
• Projected Revenue & Operating Expenses
• Team Biographies
• Schedules

Investor Materials

A “pitch deck” or investment memorandum is an abbreviated business plan designed to generate investor buzz. It’s a teaser that tells the story of your business and highlights the key elements of the investment opportunity. We choose the most compelling elements of your business proposal to create a compelling pitch that illustrates your vision as well as the financial future of your business. We also include a variety of graphs and charts to illustrate the financial metrics and potential returns generated from the financial model.

License Applications

We prepare license applications for clients committed to building a values-driven and compliant cannabis operation. We’ll provide guidance throughout the entire application process, including securing real estate, engaging team members and contractors, designing a community-oriented social impact strategy, and creating comprehensive financial and operating plans.

We focus on creating narratives that illustrate a commitment to fiscal and community improvements and a strong understanding of local, federal, and state regulations. Our materials are highly customized to ensure that they reflect our clients’ values, vision, and long-term business goals. Applications will be contingent on specific state and county requirements but typically include the following sections:

• Business Operations Plan
• Security Plan
• Financial Plan
• Packaging & Labeling
• Branding & Marketing Plan
• Facility design
• Cultivation & Manufacturing/Processing Procedures
• Distribution Plan
• Compliance & Safety Plan

Investor Relations Management

We work with operational businesses to collect and analyze data that will help them shift and evolve their businesses. We believe collecting and understanding operational data—especially about equipment and lighting/growing technology— is essential to creating a more progressive industry as a whole. Each quarter, we will produce a customized report to send to high-level executives and investors to keep them updated on general business developments as well as revenue trends.  

Here is the description of the process:

• Each quarter, we’ll update your pro forma with Point-of-Sale data from the previous months to create updated forward-looking projections based on real data.  
• We’ll use the data to create a quarterly report/investor newsletter that highlights monthly sales trends, operating costs, and ongoing business developments. We’ll also analyze Point of Sale data to extract as much information as possible about customer demographics, product trends, etc.  
• The report will also include a macro analysis to update investors on trends specially in Washington and nation-wide. This will update your investors on specific legal and market trends and how they impacted sales.
