Then the conversation moves into talking about the California market and likening it to being like an endurance athlete training at altitude — highly competitive and always breeding the best outcomes.From there, our hosts dive into The Parent Company's outlook for the year ahead and their brand portfolio, where authenticity and connection to the plant is a guiding force for being able to speak directly to consumers.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Emily Paxhia, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Poseidon Investment Management. I've been doing interviews with Cannabis investors and companies since 2014. To say the industry has been volatile would be an understatement. There's been a lot of excitement about potential legalization, anxiety it's not done yet; it's felt like we've been in this purgatory forever. Once and for all, I wanted to understand why the Cannabis industry has made me feel that way, where we are currently at from an investor perspective and what the future holds. There is no better person to help me answer these questions than Emily Paxhia. I've known Emily since 2015 when she spoke at one of our investor events, and her fund, Poseidon, is one of the longest running dedicated cannabis investment funds. She's the perfect guest to gain some clarity about why Cannabis may still be a generational investing opportunity.  For more information about Poseidon Investment Management, please visit: https://www.poseidonassetmanagement.com/ You can Follow Emily Paxhia on Twitter @empax1: https://twitter.com/empax1 Today's episode is sponsored by: Stream by AlphaSense, an expert interview transcript library that integrates AI-generated call summaries and NLP search technology so their clients can quickly pinpoint the most critical insights.

Emily Paxhia of Poseidon Asset Management joins Nick to discuss The $61B Cannabis Market, Overcoming Compliance and Regulation, and the Declining Social Stigma Around Cannabis. In this episode we cover: Can you give us an overview of the Cannabis Space -- size, growth, major sub-segments? Which segments are you most interested in? What areas do you not invest in and why? Raising a cannabis fund in 2013... I have to imagine you had to find a certain type of LP for that pitch to land. How hard was that? Regulation can be a break or a gas pedal --how have you or do you assess and underwrite the regulatory and legal risks in the space? To what extent are Cannabis businesses shut out of the existing financial system?  Are there any other major differences in sourcing or diligence for a cannabis focused fund vs. your standard VC fund? How many cannabis focused funds are there and is follow-on financing risk significant when you're dealing with a smaller pool of capital providers? In 2018 we saw this massive boom and bust cycle for cannabis and hemp companies. How cyclical is the industry and, aside from consumer consumption behaviors, what macro drivers do you watch closely? There's recently been news that Molson-Coors has launched a CBD-infused drink and several major health and wellness retailers will offer CBD topicals. 5 years from now will all of the major household CPGs have CBD and Cannabis products available?

As a kid who grew up with the D.A.R.E program, to becoming co-founder of a first mover in the cannabis investment space, Emily Paxhia has had quite a life and Founders Journey.  Growing up, she found an early passion in the rough sport of sailing.

A series of tragedies struck her family when she was in High School and College, losing both her father, and later mother, to cancer. A passing comment from a hospice worker, during her fathers illness she learned of the medicinal use of cannabis.  After graduate school in New York, and years focusing on Macro trends consulting for some major brands, it was her move from New York City to San Francisco in 2011 that opened her to the opportunity of Cannabis. Cannabis decriminalization has been a long and complex process in California. But with people lined up down the block for Cannabis retail, when retail is supposedly dead, Emily had her spark moment that Cannabis was the future and the time is now! Circle in her brother Morgan, who, as she says, was “born with a calculator in his hand”; things started to take shape. They are now raising their third fund.

If you need any evidence that Silicon Valley has wiggled its way into weed, you need look no further than the nickname for Prop 64: The Sean Parker Initiative. The founder of Napster and first president of Facebook isn’t just the quintessential tech bro, he was also the single largest donor to the initiative that made adult use legal in California. With the promise of billions on the horizon, there’s been an influx of tech money and minds into the cannabis industry, but Silicon Valley’s influence doesn’t stop at the bottom line. Can tech disrupt weed and does it need to?In this episode we talk to two women taking two very different approaches to working in weed. Cyo Nystrom, a former software sales director, is cutting her own path in cannabis with her startup, Quim, “A self-care line for humans with vaginas and humans without vaginas who love vaginas™.” Meanwhile, Emily Paxhia, founder of Poseidon Asset Management, is bringing Silicon Valley-style investment to the legal weed industry.

Emily Paxhia, co-founder and managing partner of Poseidon Asset Management joins host Megan Gorman on this episode of The Wealth Intersection. Cannabis investing is everywhere today from ETFs to stocks to private equity. But less than seven years ago, it was an untested investment frontier. Paxhia saw an opportunity in a product that she knew would be a growth industry over the coming years. In 2013, with grit and a partnership with her younger brother Morgan, she launched one of the first cannabis investment funds. Fortune Magazine has named her one of the most powerful women in the cannabis industry. Join us as we hear Paxhia's story from living the start up life, running some of the most successful cannabis investment funds, and her advocacy work on cannabis policy on this episode of The Wealth Intersection.

  In Episode 5, Angela sits with Emily Paxhia to discuss her early exposure to cannabis and how when her father was diagnosed with cancer, a hospice nurse quietly recommended that cannabis could help with his symptoms. While her father ultimately declined to use cannabis, it set the stage for Emily and her brother, Morgan in starting Poseidon Asset Management. We talk about current regulations surrounding this sacred plant, myths and how cannabis can be utilized in the yoga space.

Emily Paxhia. She’s the founder of Poseidon Asset Management and she shifted her focus entirely to the cannabis industry, in 2013. Since that time, she’s taken her experience of researching markets, companies and strategic opportunities and turned them entirely to the world of cannabis.

With over 15 years working with Fortune 500 companies—developing products, resolving strategic errors and addressing new target audiences—her work has been fundamental to stewarding her companies’ portfolios along the paths to success.
