Founded in 2019, Silver Spike is an SEC-registered investment adviser and specialized alternative asset manager focused on the cannabis industry. The Firm has raised more than $1bn in public equity capital and deployed funds across various transactions and strategies—including the first Nasdaq listed cannabis-focused lending vehicle registered under the Investment Act of 1940 (“40-Act” fund). The rapidly-growing cannabis sector is a highly specialized industry with little access to traditional sources of capital, providing compelling risk-adjusted investment return opportunities.
