The Raise Conference kicks off today in downtown Calgary, which should combine with Stampede buzz and active junior markets for a great event.
This investor conference showcases public & private companies that are raising capital in Technology, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Mining, and Life Sciences. The two day agenda also features presentations from leading analysts, newsletter writers, industry consultants and investment managers. Investors are encouraged to book 1:1 meetings with featured companies, and registration is free.
One exhibitor interested in both the public and private markets is Hadley Ford, CEO of iAnthus Capital Management, who traveled from New York to attend. We asked him why he came to Raise: “iAnthus invests in Cannabis related companies, which are now driving significant revenue in the U.S. As the industry expands, that market is creating huge demand for capital. We are here to meet with interested investors – iAnthus raises money and then invests it in private, licensed cannabis operators in the U.S. Later this year, iAnthus expects to become publicly traded, which will make it easier for investors to participate in the U.S. market, and we attend conferences like Raise to educate investors on this opportunity- we give them access to rapidly growing U.S, cannabis markets, with diversification across multiple operators in multiple states.”
The Raise Conference runs July 6-7 at the Westin Calgary, and investors can register and request 1:1 by clicking
