CANNAPAD REAL BUSINESSES. REAL OPPORTUNITIES. REAL GROWTH. business Accelerator education After a formal on-boarding process, begins Cannapad's cohort based, Business Acceleration Program. Directed at early-stage, growth driven start-ups, this 6 month program will make available, an abundance of educational and growth related opportunities. Through hosted; industry seminars, presentations and socials, CannaPad will empower team building and provide opportunities for professional networking. mentorship OVERVIEW Cannapad is a cannabis and hemp focused business accelerator, that combines deep industry knowledge and business savvy to create an ecosystem for rapid growth. Rather than just shuffle paperwork, Cannapad takes a “value first” perspective, in an effort to attract those rare opportunities where the perfect founder, business model and market conditions, converge to form “an ideal investment” While CannaPad's goal isn't to necessarily find the next cannabis or hemp “unicorn”, we instead make it a primary focus to identify and employ the models and systems that will lead to reproducible, long term success. By using a set system for attracting and cultivating potential opportunities, CannaPad will evaluate ideal candidates based on firm criteria, proven success models and past case studies. Leveraging our talent pool of industry veterans and entrepreneurs, Cannapad's hands-on, business mentoring, will provide critical guidance, while building solid rapport and trust. The overall concept is to position our private fund in conjunction with our Business Accelerator Program. The program itself aims to attract and qualify potential investees through offering a series of hands-on programs, designed to stress-test and filter through the opportunities, based on appropriate resources, knowledge and aptitude. Cultivating a 1-on-1 relationship with the founders, will enable Cannapad to evaluate and understand the subject business, inside and out, while determining key data points on future viability and success. Through mentor-ship, education, networking and resource connections, Cannapad's, cohort-based program will ensure that when the time finally comes to invest, our mentors and investors will have the experiential insight, in working with a founder, both from a numbers and interpersonal perspective. "demo day" Our Accelerator program, which comprises a series of structured sessions, mentor-ship stages, and a "last mile" push, finally culminates for the "Demo Day" investor pitch. This focal session, follows a formal graduation from the 6 month accelerator program, which has helped equip participant founder(s) with the insight, resources and knowledge needed to arrive at the investor table. With top VC firms such as ArcView Group, (which has raised over $150M) and Privateer Holdings ($130M) making large strides with cannabis and hemp business, it’s becoming clear that "corporate cannabis" is here to stay. As the market continues to evolve , CannaPad aims to attract the industry leaders and entrepreneurs, most primed for success. We look with excitement to the future. Our goal moving forward is to expand beyond our current team and partner with the right, mission oriented individuals, looking to contribute the relevant talent and experience.
