The Rise of SPACs in Cannabis and Hemp

pecial Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) have been gaining popularity as an investment vehicle in the cannabis sector but have still been flying somewhat under the radar.

Viridian Capital Advisors and IC3 are delighted to welcome a panel of expert sponsors to discuss how a SPAC is structured, what its typical life cycle is, how it can benefit the acquired company and why it is an attractive investment vehicle in current market conditions.
