Salveo Capital To Host Marijuana Investment Summit

This Summit will outline not only the tremendous potential of cannabis, but will also outline the legal and business pitfalls. The Salveo team will spotlight the difficulties of investing in cannabusinesses and will highlight the ways savvy investors are overcoming the hurdles of such a young market. Additionally, representatives from businesses from several sectors of the industry will be on hand to provide a glimpse at the best of the companies fundraising in the marijuana space.

The Salveo Capital Marijuana Investment Summit is an invitation-only event open only to accredited investors. Contact us to inquire about an invitation to learn about investment in the cannabis space.

We like to talk about the spectacular development of the last few years as a “green rush,” but what we’ve experienced up to this point is merely a sign of what’s to come.

-Alex Thiersch, Salveo Capital Managing Principal

The Salveo Capital Marijuana Investment Summit will provide attendees with the knowledge to confidently invest in the next great American industry.

With an astronomical 74% growth rate in 2014 legal marijuana is the fastest growing industry in the United States, and while its current $2.7 billion market value sounds impressive it’s only the beginning. As legalization spreads to new states, as markets begin to open, and as the federal governments eases its restrictions the limitless opportunities of this nascent industry will be revealed.

Opportunities to build dominant, national brands; to have a hand in constructing an industry from scratch; to get in before the ground floor is even constructed.

As with any investment there are risks and challenges. This Summit will outline not only the tremendous potential of cannabis, but also the potential legal and business pitfalls. The Salveo team will spotlight the difficulties of investing in cannabusinesses and will highlight the ways savvy investors are overcoming the hurdles of such a young market. Additionally, representatives from businesses from several sectors of the industry will be on hand to provide a glimpse at the best of the companies fundraising in the marijuana space.

A Green Rush? More Like a Green Explosion - The legal marijuana market is ready for an explosion unlike any we’ve seen in our lifetime. From growing and selling the plant to cannabis tech, research, and development, billion dollar ideas are being hatched right before our eyes. Right now there is an opportunity to invest in one of the most exciting and profitable industries of all time, but this opportunity won’t last forever. Even now, the clock is ticking.

The State of the Marijuana Investment Market: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Think investing in marijuana is easy? Think again. The industry is fraught with bad investments - from entrepreneurs with a lack of business acumen, businesses with unreliable and untrustworthy employees, to an unsophisticated and cash-based infrastructure. In this talk we address the many problems that accompany any attempted foray into the market.

Risky Business? The Legal Risks of Investing in Legal Marijuana - Is there any risk of prosecution? Seizure of assets? What truly are the risks of investing in marijuana? The Salveo legal team walks you through the state of the law, the latest developments, and the risks (or lack thereof) of investing in legal marijuana.

To Fund or Not to Fund? The Benefits of Working With an Investment Fund in the Marijuana Market - So you’ve decided you want to invest in marijuana - Now what? In this presentation we discuss the pros and cons of investing in a diversified fund versus an individual company. We will also explore the landscape of different investment vehicles available.

Salveo Capital Managing Principal Alex Thiersch will speak as part of the Know Your Rights panel at the Illinois Medical Cannabis Patient Summit on June 6 at the University Center in Chicago. He will spotlight the civil protections afforded to patients and caregivers enrolled in the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program.

Thiersch has been involved in the Illinois cannabis space since the bill for the Pilot Program was being debated in the state legislature, and is now part of the ownership group of Salveo Health & Wellness, a medical cannabis dispensary opening later this summer in Canton, IL. These facts, along with his experience as a lawyer representing medical professionals in matters relating to legal compliance makes him well-suited to weigh in on matters of cannabis law in Illinois.

The Illinois Medical Cannabis Patient Summit is sponsored by the Illinois chapter of Americans for Safe Access and the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago. The mission of the day-long event is to provide education about the use of medical cannabis, and the specifics of becoming a registered patient or caregiver in Illinois. There will be an additional presentation in the evening geared towards helping veterans navigate the VHA system to treat illnesses using medical cannabis.

Keynote speakers include Dr. Srishti Nangia and Dr. Suzanne Sisley. Dr. Nangia is a Pediatric Epileptologist at Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Sisley is a specialist in Internal Medicine and Psychiatry and the Principal Investigator in a current FDA clinical study looking at the use of whole-plant cannabis in combat veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD.
