This hit show landed on Amazon Prime and was coined, “Shark Tank for Pot” by CNBC, and with over 18 million offered by accredited investors over two seasons, Wall Street Journal exclaimed, “They Smoked Shark Tank.” For season three, producers are projecting to offer $20 million in capital, plus they are launching an equity fund called, “High Finance Fund” to provide additional investment options.
Karen Paull states, “The green industry in California alone has a projected value of $7 billion, and state and local governments could eventually collect $1 billion a year in taxes.” Focused on the LA market, the conference brings together highly competitive and disruptive cannabis businesses and that's exactly who we are searching for, the next 'Marijuana Millionaire.'
Wendy Robbins, producer/director said, “We are proud to say we have already several highly disruptive companies from the LA area and are excited to partner with the Cannabis Expo in order to scout a few more companies.

The show's producers are experts themselves, considered two of the top 50 Women in Cannabis. They coach contestants in a Boot Camp aka “Bud Camp” to help companies get investment, coaching and provide an excellent marketing and advertising platform for any Cannabis company that wants huge exposure and reach.
