Cannabis Investment Deal Flow Update

Issuance remained low this week, with only $41.9 million of total capital raised. Nonetheless, 2021 maintains its lead for the most capital raised for the first 16 weeks in #cannabis history.

Seven M&A transactions were completed this week, compared to none in the prior-year period. We have tracked 92 transactions YTD in 2021, compared to 25 in the same period last year. Public companies were the buyers in 82% of 2021 deals YTD compared to 88% in 2020.

Equity-based capital accounted for all four of this week’s six capital raises and accounted for 51.7% of the capital raised.

Of the seven companies which raised capital this week, three came from the Cultivation & Retail sector; two came from Biotech/Pharma; and one each came from Software/Media, Biotech/Pharma, and Investment / M&A.
