The Arcview Group announced that noted empire builder, mentor and star of ABC’s “Shark Tank” Daymond John has agreed to join the “Ready to Invest?” session on the first day of the Arcview Investor Forum: The Evolution of Cannabis: 2020 in New York. The full event runs from Wednesday, Oct. 2 to Friday, Oct. 4, 2019.
Daymond John, who turned a $40 startup in his mother’s basement into a $6 billion fashion powerhouse, will provide an entertaining keynote on investing in early-stage companies, what he looks for in potential investments and also how companies can best position themselves for new investors. He will also join the investment panel on day one.
“The cannabis industry is at the precipice of explosive growth. It’s vital that entrepreneurs and investors learn from the titans of other industries. Daymond John has seen it all and figured out not only how to be remarkably successful but also how to effectively share his wisdom with others. In keeping with the Arcview ethos, we wanted to inject some new perspectives into our Ready to Invest?™ session, continuing to break down barriers between the current cannabis investment landscape, and the broader capital markets. Daymond John is the perfect fit,” said Troy Dayton, CEO and co-founder of The Arcview Group.
