Venture Capital
Summary List PlacementCannabis tech has become one of the hottest areas of the nascent industry, because it gives major venture capital firms an opportunity to bet on the spread of legalization in the US and around the globe. The latest example of the sector's appeal comes from Dutchie, a cannabis e-commerce startup. On Tuesday, Dutchie closed a $200 million Series C funding round led by Tiger Global. The round includes top Silicon Valley funds like DFJ Growth and Dragoneer, as well as Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital, rapper Snoop Dogg's Casa Verde Capital, and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz.
