Merge Into A Public Company
We acquire and merge with small, mid-size and development stage companies focused on the marijuana industry.
Our company is an incubator for cannabis operations looking to go public.
The company has incubated rapidly growing cannabis businesses with the opportunity of being a controlled subsidiary of a publicly held company that focuses on capital raise, management selection, financial planning, restructuring, marketing/sales support, and strategic mergers and acquisitions.
The owners and management team of a private expanding marijuana company will now be able to generate value ownership by being common shareholders of our public company, Marijuana Strategic Ventures, Inc. (MSVI).
In addition, acquisitions by MSVI will offer employees, investors and existing shareholders an alternative exit strategy for the time earned and the capital invested into their emerging company. MSVI is immersed in a vibrant business, and creation-oriented environment where the company has access relationships with top SEC attorneys, accounting firms, investment bankers, and qualified management teams.
