Canadian entrepreneurs invited to apply with their "half-baked" cannabis business plans to receive capital, business development and mentorship

CALGARY, March 7, 2018 /CNW/ - CBi² is calling for Canadian start-up companies developing products and services for the legal cannabis industry to apply for acceptance into its 16-week accelerator program, MacaVerde. Having launched in January 2018, the program has already received a number of promising applications, and additional applications from passionate entrepreneurs are encouraged. Prospective applicants are invited to apply for this program by March 31, 2018.

Applicants are encouraged to submit their "half-baked" ideas relating to the cannabis industry (medical and/or recreational). MacaVerde will provide capital, a 16-week business development and mentorship program, and critical knowledge of the industry to selected applicants in return for an equity interest in the applicant's business. CBi²'s advisors and mentors will work closely with each selected company to enhance their business models, perfect their unique selling propositions and boost their marketing and fundraising activities.

"Canadian cannabis companies are already well-positioned to become global leaders and we want to help cultivate the business potential of Canada's entrepreneurs within this industry," says Sonny Mottahed, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CBi². "We are dedicated to partnering with leading-edge entrepreneurs and encourage anyone with an innovative idea to apply."

All selected participants will be part of an exclusive "Demo-Day" where they will showcase their accomplishments of the 16-week program to accredited investors to drive additional investments.  Making this program even more exciting, CBi² is developing a cannabis investment focused television program showcasing this unique Demo-Day experience to drive global interest in Canada's cannabis market. The show is being created under the direction of renowned television producer Chad Oakes, and is currently being marketed to leading broadcasters and global content streaming services.

Interested applicants are invited to apply for MacaVerde by March 31, 2018. The application process and program details will be found at www.cbi2.com/MacaVerde. The inaugural 16-week boot camp will begin on April 20, 2018.
