\u201cI work with my colleagues to draw more women into leadership in cannabis,\u201d she says. \u201cMore than half of the founders in our newest vintage fund are female. Further, I have an amazing group of female leaders with whom I frequently communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Paxhia, cannabis is an emerging market that faces exogenous issues, which create levers around the industry\u2019s growth or stagnation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen more progress faster than I\u2019d have thought on the state-to-state level when we first launched Poseidon,\u201d she says. \u201cHowever, the disappointment I feel about not achieving even perfunctory reform on the federal level is palpable\u2026 I believe in action. Each day, I\u2019m working with leadership to drive change in whatever form possible. We\u2019ve leaned in on our efforts since 2013 and will keep pushing until it\u2019s achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
