Marijuana will be completely legal in my country(Canada)within 2 years, and it is already a multi-billion dollar industry. I would love to speak with anyone interested in investing capital in a marijuana production facility. I would like to capitalize on my programming skills by developing systems to automate production and increase quality by precisely monitoring and controlling growing conditions.

If you get on angel.co and search 'marijuana' you can find a list of investors that have funded such things. As well as startups in the space.

An aside, what is the opinion you (or anyone else has) on angellist?

rhgraysonii2• 11 years ago

I have not taken a job through it, but I have met many interesting startup team members that I have kept in touch with on an ongoing basis from the platform. I am currently experimenting with it in partnership with a local group that has had a successful kickstarter and is looking for an angel/seed investor to bolster their first production run (product, not software based startup).

Thanks, I followed your advice and see there are in fact several. I am going to create a start-up profile and see if I can get a bite.

Yeah, I could do business with Snoop Dogg. You just can't pass him a joint you want back..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMp2WfOw2-4

There are a lot of tech/start up/cannabis here in Colorado that I have been to. This particular Incubator had easily over 300 people at there kickoff party.
