Judy Rinkus, CEO and founder of Seed To Sale Funding, was a panelist on “Debt Financing: Its Role In The Past, Present And Future Of The Cannabis Industry” at Benzinga’s Cannabis Capital Conference.
Rinkus shared that even as more and more banks are allowed to lend to cannabis companies, from a lending perspective the cannabis industry will still be considered “high-risk”. This will mean there will still continue to be a limited amount of banks willing to lend to the industry. She also added that if the HHS reschedule comes through, it will not be a quick process.
