Morgan Paxhia is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Poseidon, one of the longest running investment firms in the cannabis industry.

With over sixteen years experience in investing and finance, Morgan has developed a deep understanding of financial markets, individual company analysis, portfolio construction, and risk mitigation. Since 2012, he has dedicated his investment focus primarily to the cannabis industry. The cannabis industry is an emerging market that generally lacks institutional investors and research, given the relative industry immaturity, Morgan embraces an active management approach of working with companies. Morgan continues to develop Poseidon’s investment methodology specifically tailored to the business of cannabis, leveraging the last ten plus years of co-managing the firm’s funds along with extensive travel across the US and Canada, reviewing hundreds of business plans, and overseeing several existing cannabis investments. Poseidon’s proprietary process is driven by the time spent in the industry and the considerable data collected over the last several years. He has created frameworks for analysis depending on sub-sector, company stage, and participation across the capital spectrum through our database of contacts, valuations, metrics, and other relevant factors.

Morgan started his investment career at UBS Financial Services working in a Wealth Management/ Investment Banking hybrid training program. The training brought a wide range of first hand experience working through several facets of the organization, including advisory teams managing assets for high net worth individuals and municipal bonds trading. Following UBS, Morgan transitioned to a Providence-based Registered Investment Advisor as an Investment Consultant. During that time, he worked under the partners of the firm doing fundamental portfolio management.
