We offer 2 main programs: a Growth Incubator for growth-stage ancillary cannabis companies generating revenue and actively growing, and an Accelerator Program designed for early-stage Hemp/CBD & Ancillary cannabis companies. At this time we are only accepting applications for our Growth Incubator.

No. At this time, we're only accepting applications from growth-stage companies for our Growth Incubator program.

For the Growth Incubator, we provide a net $75,000 equity investment - $100,000 investment minus a $25,000 program fee. An additional $50,000 is available for top performing companies.

For the Growth Incubator - in return for capital , services, and other perks, we take a small ownership stake in each company. Fair investment terms will be negotiated between CanopyBoulder and participating companies..

Our Growth incubator is focused on ancillary cannabis product and service companies with strong teams, innovative solutions and sales. The ideal companies for the Growth Incubator are those with growing sales who would like to scale more rapidly and double revenues.

Our Accelerator program is focused on ancillary cannabis product and service companies & hemp/CBD businesses with strong teams, innovative solutions and some initial product-market fit or traction.

We've invested in over 115 companies since 2015. Get a complete and searchable list of our portfolio companies.

We partner with the Arcview Group, which gives our teams access to over 750 angel investors who are proactively looking to invest in cannabis companies.

The Growth Incubator is a 4-week, all virtual program. It typically requires 7-10 hours of work a week per company.

We are looking for entrepreneurs who are fully dedicated to their business. Which means we expect founders to be working on their business while in the program. However, this also means we don't accept companies where founders are splitting their time between multiple jobs.

No. We want to see a short pitch deck/plan that shows the basics of your idea, your founding team, and the vision for the next few years. Show us why and how you can grow this idea into a multi-million dollar business. Team – Traction -- Vision – Product/Service.

Yes! In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, we've moved all programs to 100% virtual, meaning you can participate from anywhere!

No, we do not sign NDAs. No venture firm would at this stage. We hear so many ideas on a daily basis that it would be impossible to keep who said what in order. We are in the business of helping entrepreneurs, so our reputation is the incentive we have to try our best to protect the ideas you share with us.

As an entrepreneur your goal is to see your company succeed, and by having ownership in your company, we make sure that our goals are aligned. This also ensures that our relationship does not end when the program finishes.
