Scott Greiper,
President and Founder of Viridian Capital Advisors with Taylor Van Zant, host
of Investorideas.com potcastsCM
Scott began by discussing Viridian’s background in the cannabis
space and specifically what he and Viridian have observed since the firm’s
conception in 2014.
“In 2014 we opened our doors as the first FINRA licensed
investment bank advisor in the cannabis industry. At that time the average
cannabis investment was about $300,000, whereas in the last quarter of 2018 the
average cannabis investment by company was about $42,000,000. The size of the
industry, the maturation of the industry, the size of the companies and the
size of the investor checks has changed to a completely different world. This
is what I do though. I like to be first, I like to be early and I like to bring
a very institutional approach to representing both investors and companies.”
Scott became involved in the cannabis space due to his past
connections in Homeland Security, specifically in the early days of the cannabis
space where cash security was the paramount issue for most cannabis companies.
Through Viridian’s cannabis deal
tracker, the company has had access to several years’ worth of financial
data that monitors capital raises and M&A
activity in the legal cannabis industry. Thusfar, the Viridian Cannabis Deal
Tracker has tracked and analyzed more than 2,100 capital raises totaling over
$24 billion as well as more than 700 M&A transactions.
When asked which trends Scott has noticed so far with regards to
where the money has been primarily concentrated in the past and where it is
heading in the future, he pointed to cultivation, brands as well as vape
technology.
“Since we’ve started, it’s been no surprise that most of the money
has been going into cultivation and retail: infrastructure. You need larger
scale and more production capacity as ultimately you’re going to be competing
on price. So far it has been about 65 cents of every dollar which has been
focused on seed to sale. What’s changed in the last year is twofold: brands are
starting to be recognized by more sophisticated investor groups as the
differentiator moving forward, and second to that is the vape market.”
Scott also went on to discuss the CBD market, Canada’s beverage
market and how he believes cannabis technology will be one of the largest
factors affecting the future market.
