RADD Capital has provided strategic advisory services to raise over $650,000,000 for cannabis companies since 2016. The company was founded by Rob Anderson, Dave Doherty, and Danny Brody and it leverages its extensive industry expertise to capitalize companies within hyper-growth sectors that have established brands, best-in-class products, and driven management teams and transforms them into world-class companies.
