Ask HN: Are there any angels investing in the marijuana industry?
Marijuana will be completely legal in my country(Canada)within 2 years, and it is already a multi-billion dollar industry. I would love to speak with anyone interested in investing capital in a marijuana production facility. I would like to capitalize on my programming skills by developing systems to automate production and increase quality by precisely monitoring and controlling growing conditions.
- rhgraysonii 11y agoIf you get on angel.co and search 'marijuana' you can find a list of investors that have funded such things. As well as startups in the space.
- anon3_ 11y agoAn aside, what is the opinion you (or anyone else has) on angellist?
- rhgraysonii 11y agoI have not taken a job through it, but I have met many interesting startup team members that I have kept in touch with on an ongoing basis from the platform. I am currently experimenting with it in partnership with a local group that has had a successful kickstarter and is looking for an angel/seed investor to bolster their first production run (product, not software based startup).
- AC__ 11y agoThanks, I followed your advice and see there are in fact several. I am going to create a start-up profile and see if I can get a bite.
- brickmort 11y agoSnoop Dogg is. :)
- AC__ 11y agoYeah, I could do business with Snoop Dogg. You just can't pass him a joint you want back..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp2WfOw2-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp2WfOw2-4
