Research-backed, community-driven, and rooted in evidence-based outcomes. Our world is facing a mental health pandemic, with more than 1/8th of the global population suffering from a clinical indication.Based on cutting-edge scientific research, rigorous case studies from various organizations, and our own beneficial experiences, we believe microdosing is a beneficial tool: both to better the well and to offer relief to those on traditional psychotropic medications.The Microdosing Collective wants to create momentum around changes to state and federal policy to support the legalization of microdosing, starting with psilocybin.We believe every human, if they wish, should be able to access microdosing medicine in a trustworthy and safe manner, with vetted and lab-tested products.Through our organization we will seek to expand access to those who may benefit from its use, welcome those from cultures for whom microdosing has been both a sacrament and a medicine, and seek to positively impact each community we touch.Founded by: Alli Schaper, Paul Austin, Josh KappelAdvisors: Courtney Barnes, Dr. Evan Lewis, John Downs, Dr. Ivan Casselman, Azalea Kemphttp://microdosingcollective.org

Founded in March of 2010, The Arcview Group is the first and largest network of accredited investors focused exclusively on the legal cannabis industry. As Director of Business Development for The Arcview Group, I was responsible for corporate strategy, business development, programming and presenting content for events, and capital raising. I led outreach to entrepreneurs and investors, and spearheaded Arcview’s bridge and Series A financings. My redesign of Arcview’s event format contributed to a substantial increase in revenues and positive feedback from attendees. I also helped expand Arcview’s presence in international markets, notably with the first cannabis-focused investment symposium ever held in Asia (Hong Kong-November 2018).

Infusion Factory is a contract manufacturer of cannabis-infused products, formed in May 2016 in partnership with the owner of a small nicotine e-juice manufacturer.

Film Investment Partners is an asset-backed lender focusing on secured debt and mezzanine (gap) financing for independent film projects. Despite a well-earned reputation as risky business, Hollywood, and independent film in particular, can provide excellent risk-adjusted returns for the savvy investor. Smart Money regularly and consistently makes a positive return investing in film, the defining characteristic of Smart Money is a loan-based investment strategy. In contrast, individual investors (Industry Outsiders) typically invest in high-risk equity positions within a film’s financial structure. Smart Money is last-in-first-out, Outsiders are first-in-last-out. Two investors within the same film may have radically different risk exposure, for example, with Smart Money extending a low-risk loan guaranteed against a state tax incentive, and the Outsider contributing equity and only recouping their investment in the statistically unlikely event the movie is a commercial hit. For Accredited Investors, Film Investment Partners curates film investments with commercial appeal and A-list talent. Our mission is to transform Industry Outsiders into Smart Money, generating positive risk-adjusted returns in a recession-resistant alternative asset class that is benefitting from growing global demand.
