In 2017, the cannabis industry is not to be ignored.
Already projected to hit more than $7 billion in sales in California, cannabis–now legalized in 28 states, is impacting medical, agricultural, biotech, retail, tech, law enforcement, and other sectors in our economy.
Learn about finance and investment in this emerging industry, the legal barriers and areas for growth following the passage of Proposition 64 in California, making both recreational and medical cannabis legal.

Sherri Haskell, founder and CEO of the investment group Canna Angels LLC, is a petite woman, but her energy makes her seem much larger. I am 6’2” and I find myself standing up straighter when I am around her to match the size of her personality. This persona has, no doubt, not only helped her achieve her success in business, but also in her life’s passion: training horses.
I see many parallels between the two pursuits. She, above all else, has an eye for potential. Be it a wild horse, early stage company or a stock option, she has enjoyed success in identifying winners and giving them what they need to succeed. Now, as she sets her sights on establishing an angel investment consortium focused on early stage cannabis companies she will attempt to use her skills not only to benefit her group’s investors and portfolio companies, but to advance the nascent cannabis industry as well.

A Sausalito-based group announced the launch of an investment group to pair investors with cannabis-centered startups.
CannaAngels LLC founder and CEO Sherri Haskell said in the announcement that the cannabis industry is forecast to grow to $50 billion in the next decade. California voters last month approved adult use of cannabis. Regulations are being written at the state and local level to launch retail sales in 2018.
“Thanks to voters, more than half the states in the country now have some form of cannabis legalization in place. The tipping point is upon us,” stated Haskell. “We see this as a most opportune time for investors curious about this industry to dive in. A looming challenge is that investors may not know the players or whom to trust in the industry, and at the same time cannabis entrepreneurs need reliable funding which has been difficult to access due to prohibition. Our focus at Canna Angels is to bridge this gap.”
The announcement states the group has identified multiple areas of interest such as agriculture technologies, genetics, bio-science and medical applications, real estate and lab/data analytics. Its announcement stated the group will provide startup founders with services ranging from deal structure and pitch development to marketing and mentorship.
The group was formed this year, it stated.
