Female and minority founders face unique challenges in cannabis fundraising. But preparation is everything, and knowing what to do after you secure funding is just as critical as getting it.

This isn't just another cannabis funding webinar. This is a practical two-part playbook: how to position yourself for funding success as a woman or minority entrepreneur, and how to turn that capital into sustainable revenue once you have it.

What You'll Learn

Cannabis Funding Prep for Women & Minority Entrepreneurs

• How to position your business for funding success as a woman or minority entrepreneur
• What investors are actually looking for (and common misconceptions)
• Building your network and leveraging community for funding opportunities
• Lessons from raising capital for Event and building Blunt Brunch
• Resources and programs specifically for women and minority cannabis entrepreneurs
• How to tell your story in a way that resonates with funders

Post-Funding Execution Strategy for Cannabis Startups

• What to do in the first 90 days after securing capital
• Turning investment into revenue: prioritizing your spend
• Common mistakes that drain your runway (and how to avoid them)
• Building a marketing and growth strategy that delivers ROI
• Creating systems and processes that scale

The Full Picture This conversation covers both sides of the funding equation: getting ready to raise capital as a female or minority founder, and executing effectively once you have it. Whether you're pre-funding or post-funding, you'll walk away with actionable guidance.

Why This Matters Now

• Women receive only 2.3% of venture capital funding across all industries
• Minority founders face even steeper odds in securing traditional funding
• The cannabis funding gap is wider for female and BIPOC entrepreneurs

• Having a clear post-funding playbook is the difference between success and failure

• Founders who've raised capital but need execution guidance
• Women and BIPOC entrepreneurs navigating funding challenges
