Canopy is a mentorship-driven early-stage investment program for startups in the cannabis industry, with a focus on ancillary products and services, as well as CBD/Hemp companies. Our approach provides capital, mentorship, and guidance for companies looking to break into the cannabis industry. We invest only in ancillary products, as well as CBD/Hemp brands, and pair companies with outstanding mentors with extensive experience in the industry. Our partnership with the Arcview Group helps us match investors to entrepreneurs following the conclusion of our business boot camp.
