Silver Spike Capital

Established in 2019, Silver Spike Capital is a leading institutional caliber asset manager dedicated to the cannabis and alternative health and wellness industries. The firm has raised ~$1bn of public market capital dedicated to the sector —including the first SEC-registered investment company and cannabis-focused lending vehicle, Silver Spike Investment Corp. (ticker: SSIC). With over three decades of investment experience, Silver Spike’s investment professionals include early cannabis investors, entrepreneurs, operators, and researchers as well as emerging market finance veterans experienced in complex legal and regulatory characteristics that mirror the current cannabis landscape today. 

The $1.5bn business combination of Silver Spike’s first SPAC with WH Holdings, a leading technology platform to the cannabis industry and operator of WeedMaps (ticker: MAPS), represents one of the largest equity checks ever written in the cannabis sector at nearly $600mm of cash proceeds.
