About Viridian Capital Advisors
Launched in 2014, Viridian Capital Advisors was one of the first and now leading, corporate finance, M&A, advisory and research practices in the legal Cannabis/CBD industries, and now in the Psychedelics sector. We represent companies, investors, lenders, buyers and sellers. Our advisory practice is meant to help “institutionalize” our clients before they go to market for capital or M&A - by helping to build a professional Board of Directors, sophisticated financial models, valuation analyses, and exit strategies. Our investment banking practice raises capital and executes M&A transactions through our New York City based broker-dealer, Bradley Woods & Co. Ltd.
Viridian is widely recognized as the industry leader in research and capital markets data/market intelligence through the Viridian Deal Tracker. Launched in January 2015, and having analyzed more than $60 billion in deals, the Viridian Deal Tracker is a proprietary data service that monitors and analyzes investment, M&A activity and capital markets trends in the Cannabis/CBD and Psychedelics industries. The Deal Tracker has become a trusted and valuable source for companies, investors, lenders and sellers/acquirers to make informed capital allocation decisions.
Our team has advised, financed, founded, bought/sold and took public scores of companies over the past thirty years. Creativity and perseverance are the foundation of the cannabis industry and a defining characteristic of the Viridian culture and our investment banking professionals.
Our advisors are world class entrepreneurs and held C-level positions at leading companies in beverage/alcohol (President, Diageo NA), entertainment (Chairman, Live Nation), private equity (Senior MD, Pantheon Partners), wealth management (CEO, Tiger 21), and advertising (Group President, Conde Nast). They bring great knowledge, strategy and experience to our corporate clients as board members and investors.
