The agreement will help facilitate investment into the cannabis industry internationally, while driving private capital towards advancing the economic goals of marijuana, as well as the entrepreneurship and infrastructure required to support it.

The team at Deutsche Cannabis AG is one that I feel provides a perfect alliance.”

“The cannabis industry in Europe will follow within the next 5 to 10 years up to the level of the legal landscape in the US,” said Carsten Siegemund, Chairman of Deutsche Cannabis. “I am very proud that we have formed this alliance with Cannafundr. We understand the important role of private equity investment in addition to the role that online crowdfunding will be playing in the industry, and we are confident the CannaFundr team will lead this space.”
