Current Project

Verdant Partners is a cannabis investment and operating platform focused on acquiring, integrating, and optimizing established retail businesses in limited-license markets across the U.S, using an ESOP structure (Employee Stock Ownership Program) as the vehicle for the rollup. Our goal over the next two years is to consolidate $500M in gross revenue of the country's best-performing privately held assets. 

The firm targets profitable, well-run operators and provides them with the capital, structure, and shared resources needed to scale efficiently. Verdant’s leadership team brings decades of hands-on experience in cannabis operations, finance, and growth strategy, with a track record of building industry-leading companies. Through disciplined execution, operational excellence, and a long-term ownership model, Verdant is creating a portfolio of premier cannabis retail assets positioned for sustainable growth and value creation. We are helping Founders exit with above-market multiples paid in cash, while giving the store employees the chance to own their destiny. Something that doesn't exist in the current cannabis landscape.
