Poseidon Asset Management Co-Founder and Managing Director Morgan Paxhia joined Jesse Redmond, Head of Cannabis at Water Tower Research, to discuss the recent rally in cannabis stocks. The potential to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III has ignited the space. Paxhia and Redmond covered what's gone up the most, why these stocks have surged, and what types of names investors may want to own moving forward. They also touched on Maryland launching adult-use sales and contemplated when Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida may make the move to recreational cannabis. The conversation concluded with Paxhia sharing the biggest risk we should monitor heading into the New Year.

Last quarter cannabis Venture Capitalist Emily Paxhia  was less than pleased with the response from SVB when talking about the financial potential of cannabis; now along with her brother, Morgan Paxhia, co-founder of Poseidon Asset Management, she's breaking down why SVB could have taken a lesson from the industry on this week's episode of Proud to Work in Cannabis.With host Karson Humiston, Founder & CEO of Vangst, listeners learn how SVB's risk management issue could have been avoided (spoiler: their Chief Risk Officer departed the company in April), advice for companies who service high risk businesses, and what the future of SAFE Banking may hold as a result of SVB's collapse.

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?

Today's guest started building a strong work ethic at the age of 12, and never stopped. Understanding she learned through work, it was fundamental that her choice in University had an emphasis on learning through action. She followed her interest in event production to a premier events company in Boston, producing high-end events like a Super Bowl Ring Ceremony at the team owner's house. It was in her time managing Boston's most select night clubs that she noticed a gap; The Ultra Premium club life was Ultra antiquated in how they managed guest bookings. To solve that, she co-founded TabelList to modernize Night Club and event reservations. They soon expanded Nationally, and beyond the club too, landing the most Ultra Premium event of 2017... Fyre Fest! Wow! You may have seen the documentaries, but facing $3.5M in chargebacks! Just Wow! Following that, she took over as CEO, and with 4 others stayed to rebuild the decimated company. Just as things were growing again, she lost her Mom to Cancer. This was all just before COVID hit, shutting down every nightclub and event in the World.

Morgan Paxhia is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Poseidon, one of the longest running funds in the cannabis industry. With over ten years experience in investing and finance, Morgan has developed a deep understanding of individual company analysis, portfolio construction, and risk mitigation. Since 2012, he has dedicated his investment focus primarily to the cannabis industry. Given the limited amount of information in this emerging vertical, the lack of institutional research, and relative industry immaturity, Morgan embraces an active approach of working closely with companies. He utilizes a “boots on the ground” methodology to better understand individual companies and the industry. Through his extensive travel across the US and Canada, reviewing hundreds of business plans and overseeing several existing cannabis investments, Morgan has developed Poseidon’s investment methodology tailored specific to the business of cannabis. Poseidon’s proprietary process is driven by the time spent in the industry and the considerable data collected over the last several years. He has created frameworks for analysis depending on sub-sector, company stage, and participation across the capital spectrum through our database of contacts, valuations, metrics, and other relevant factors.Morgan started his investment career at UBS Financial Services working in a Wealth Management/Investment Banking hybrid training program. The training brought a wide range of first hand experience working through several facets of the organization, including advisory teams managing assets for high net worth individuals and municipal bonds trading. Following UBS, Morgan transitioned to a Providence-based Registered Investment Advisor as an Investment Consultant. During that time, he worked under the partners of the firm doing fundamental portfolio management.Morgan graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics in 2005.

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.

Produced by Foundersuite.com, "How I Raised It" goes behind the scenes with startup founders who have raised capital. This episode is with Keegan Peterson or Wurk (enjoywurk.com) an HR software platform for the cannabis industry. In this episode, Keegan talks about raising capital for cannabis startups, how to get the most value out of an accelerator program (in this case, Canopy), how to send useful investor updates, what to do if you need to walk away from a term sheet, and more. The Company most recently raised $11 million of venture funding in a deal co-led by Arcadian Fund and Poseidon Asset Management. Phyto Partners, Salveo Capital, Altitude Investment Management, and The ArcView Group also participated in the round. This series is produced by Foundersuite, makers of software to raise capital and manage investor relations. Foundersuite's customers have raised over $2 Billion since 2016.

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.

A robust platform built to support Cannabis businesses with Keegan Peterson. Today, we have Keegan Peterson who is the CEO + Founder of WURK, a robust platform built to support Cannabis businesses stay on top of their HR needs. Essentially they are an “all-in-one solution that automates the most complicated and risk-prone processes associated with hiring, scheduling, and paying employees.” Keegan Peterson is the founder and CEO of Wurk, the first workforce management company designed specifically for the cannabis industry. Before Wurk, Peterson spent eight years working for high-growth HR technology companies, developing a deep understanding of possible solutions in the space. Wurk, the first and leading Human Capital Management company for the cannabis industry, is pleased to announce the raise of $11 million in a funding round led by returning investors Poseidon Asset Management and Arcadian Fund. Existing investors Altitude, Salveo Capital, Phyto Partners, and The Arcview Group also participated in the round. Cannabis has been off-limits to doctors and researchers in the US for the past 80 years, but recently scientists have discovered its anti-cancer properties. Armed with only these laboratory studies, desperate parents obtain cannabis oil from underground sources to save their children from childhood cancers. “Weed the People” follows these families through uncharted waters as they take their children’s survival into their own hands.

In episode 137 we welcome the sibling duo, Emily and Morgan Paxhia. Emily and Morgan begin by discussing their backstory, and how coming from a family with an entrepreneurial background influenced their path to start Poseidon Asset Management to specialize in cannabis investing. Emily and Morgan each describe their previous roles and the skills they acquired in their respective industries (Consulting for Emily, and Investment Management for Morgan) that helped them build foundations that transitioned well into asset management. Next, the pair discusses starting their fund, and the journey that included seeking service providers, raising capital, and the many challenges and hurdles they faced along the way. Morgan mentioned that even with all the hurdles, they knew they were on to something and continued to drive forward. Meb then asks about cannabis industry trends and what the space has in store looking forward. Emily covers some regulatory and political issues and then talks about the challenge they will face as a firm as they try to allocate capital before the industry really opens up down the road. Morgan follows with some catalysts that include legal cannabis in California, a number of countries approving medical cannabis, and expanded media coverage. The conversation shifts to the regulatory environment. Morgan talks about the progress that has been made, although state programs are varied, which makes it difficult to see where the standout model lies. There’s also bi-partisan support, New York is looking serious at legalizing, and the environment is moving forward. Meb follows with questions about the investment process and portfolio building, as well as a question on what areas people aren’t thinking about that have disruptive potential. Emily and Morgan talk about looking at the industry by subsector such as ag-tech and technology and being invested everywhere on the spectrum from plant cultivation to end consumer product consumption and that the portfolio construction process leans on a very diversified approach but is very flexible and dynamic. In searching for ideas, they rely on a “boots on the ground” approach to understand the industry and operator dynamics, as well as identify quality teams. Meb then asks about any areas people aren’t thinking about that have disruptive potential. Emily and Morgan respond with 100% industrial hemp as a product that has disruptive potential with almost endless applications. Hear all this and more in episode 137, including the names of some portfolio companies and their most memorable investments.

The Phaxia on investment opportunity: "This is a fantastic period of time for investing in the space. Canada has not waited. They have war chests on their balance sheet of cash, not really much more they can build out in their market, so they're eyeing other opportunities. The US is a huge opportunity set for them. They're coming."

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. Her focus on understanding where the market is headed rather than where it has been, has been critical to developing a diverse portfolio of companies that span the sector. 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.
