Yes, AngelList allows investments into cannabis companies, although certain restrictions apply.
If the investment is into a company that is “plant-touching,” we require the fund or deal be self-advised. A plant-touching company is defined as a company that touches the plant at some point along the supply chain and clearly manufactures, distributes, or dispenses cannabis. Examples: Cannabis seeds, cultivating, extracting, planting, processing, testing, packaging, transporting, retail delivery, or dispensaries.
If you would like to manage a fund with a thesis related to cannabis, you must choose our self-advised option. If your fund does not focus on cannabis, but you’d like to make a one-off investment into a cannabis company, please reach out to your account manager.
