About Privateer Holdings Stock
Privateer Holdings represents a group of investors around the world seeking to end cannabis prohibition and the social harms it causes.Through a combination of acquisitions, investments and incubation, Privateer is focused on building a portfolio of global brands that will lead, legitimize and define the future of cannabis. From providing pure, reliable medical cannabis to Canadian patients to empowering consumers worldwide with a trustworthy cannabis information resource, Privateer's companies are in the business of creating meaningful returns, both financially and socially.
Privateer holds three fundamental beliefs:
1. Cannabis is a mainstream product consumed by mainstream people;
2. The end of cannabis prohibition is inevitable; and
3. Brands will determine the future of the cannabis industry.
In 2010, Brendan Kennedy, Michael Blue, and Christian Groh saw factors leading to legalization of cannabis were aligning. It was also clear that, while prominent thinkers and humanitarians were advocating for change, the nascent industry lacked experienced business leadership equal to the vast opportunity.
