Emily Paxhia, co-founder and managing partner at Poseidon Investment Management will be sharing her insights on managing cannabis investment funds, access to capital and investing in cannabis during at the upcoming Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference September 13-14 in Chicago.
A Succesful Entrepreneur
Emily and her brother founded Poseidon in 2013, making their first fund one of the longest-running dedicated cannabis investment funds.
The Poseidon team has since focused on a diversified strategy covering a range of company stages and industry subsectors across the capital spectrum.
Now in its eighth year of conducting due diligence, deploying capital and serving on multiple company boards of directors, the team is a leader in the cannabis industry. Poseidon has forged a positive reputation in the cannabis industry by helping companies when others would not, resulting in proprietary deal flow.
"Poseidon was one of the first investment firms dedicated to cannabis investments, navigating this complex and evolving industry to help companies grow and thrive from startups to public companies," said Paxhia, who is also Poseidon's portfolio manager. "Our track record speaks to our deep knowledge of the space and our commitment to understanding the needs of the companies we invest in. PSDN broadens the reach of our unique investment philosophy and provides simple, secure, accessible investing into one of the world's most exciting asset classes."
