The LinkedIn of Cannabis, Leafwire, Goes on a
Funding Round on Seed Invest
We wanted to catch up with our friends over at Leafwire and see what’s new for the end of 2020
and what they’re looking forward to in 2021.
I think we can all agree that we’re happy to see 2020 coming to a close, but we’d love to hear
any of the positives that Leafwire saw come out of such a tumultuous year.
Yes, that’s for sure, but we did de nitely experience some highlights this year:
Well, I think the proof is in the numbers. Two of the KPI (Key Performance Indicators) that we
measure at Leafwire are number of members and engagement.
In regard to the number of members, we’ve had more than 36,000 members join and create
pro les, representing 15,000 companies. Since the beginning of 2019, we’ve grown from a little
more than 4,000 members to now more than 36,000 members. That’s more than 8X growth.

In regard to engagement, we look at MAUs (or Monthly Active Users) and since the beginning of
2019 to today we’ve seen a 5X growth, from 5,000 MAUs back in the beginning of 2019 to 25,000
MAUs now.
We’ve been really excited to watch the growth in both of those KPIs.
And of course, we’re super excited to have launched our crowdfund on SeedInvest!
Yes, I’ve seen that news over the last week. Can you please share some details about what
your crowdfund?
We recently launched a campaign and I’m excited to say that we’re already raised more than 50%
of the minimum required, so for anyone interested, I encourage you to invest early.
Just go to https://www.seedinvest.com/leafwire/seed (https://www.seedinvest.com/leafwire/seed)
for all the details.
Why crowdfunding versus other fundraising avenues?
There were two primary reasons we were really excited to launch a crowdfunding campaign.
First is that a Reg CF (Crowdfunding) fundraise allows the general public to make investments in
startups like Leafwire with substantially lower minimums than other types of fundraise. A Reg D
fundraise is only open to Accredited Investors and companies typically have minimums of $25,000
or higher.
Reg CF was passed to enable crowdfund raises to be open to everyone, so you don't have to be an
Accredited Investor or part of a Venture Capital Firm. So everyone is on an even playing eld to get
in and make an investment.

Second, a Reg CF raise typically involves a much larger group of people. So let's say hypothetically,
you have 1,000 people make an investment in your company during a Reg CF raise. You then
immediately have 1,00 ambassadors and cheerleaders for your company who will go out there and
promote your company to their friends and maybe even become some of your best users or
customers. So it's an automatic group of 1,000 brand ambassadors, as a side bene t of a
crowdfund.
Since Leafwire is a consumer-facing platform, it’s important for us to have a strong group of
promoters and supporters.
That sounds like a huge bene t and I can see why you chose to launch a Crowdfund. Now
let’s look forward. What are you and Leafwire excited about for 2021?
Well, I think a few things happened this year that make me really excited to see where the industry
goes next year. First we saw a slew of cannabis-tech companies raise very large rounds, which
helps set a benchmark for what types of rounds are possible for Cannabis tech companies. For
example:
LeafLink, an online cannabis wholesaling platform, just announced they raised $40 Million in a Series C
raise, bringing their total amount raised to $90 Million.
Dutchie, an online ordering platform for cannabis retailers, raised $35 Million in a B Round
Fyllo, an online media and compliance platform, raised $10 Million in a Series A2, to raise their total
raise to $26 Million
Wow, that’s an impressive run for the cannabis tech space? And I’m sure Weedmaps is on
that list?
Yes, of course. That one is still underway, so I didn’t include it, but the fact that they are aiming to
go public on the Nasdaq for a valuation of $1.5 Billion, sets the bar even higher. Weedmaps is
another example of a cannabis tech platform that has soared in value, or at least their proposed
value, and is really exciting for the rest of us in the industry to see.

Berkeley Scientists Brewed THC and CBD in a Lab from Yeast Using Beer-Making Processes
But with the scientists’ process, they were able to introduce over a dozen genes into the DNA of the yeast, many of which were
actually copies of the genes that are used from the cannabis plant to produce synthesized cannabinoids. Then, the genes release
enzymes which promote a series of chemical changes. It starts out with the sugar, followed by cannabigerolic acid, which then…

How to Create Your Own Marijuana Strains
The rst one is access to a variety of seeds. You need different genetics to cross breed plants. Taking plants from the exact same
family will only replicate the genetics within that particular strain.
