Green Light Acquisitions, LLC (GLA) is a Cincinnati-based holding company in the executive offices sector. It was founded by James M. Gould and Ian James to participate in the hemp CBD market. GLA provides debt financing to licensed operators, secured by collateral such as real property or other hard assets, and when equity investments are not feasible by law, it structures long-term returns through guaranteed lease arrangements. GL A emphasizes a vertically integrated asset-holding approach and seeks regional footholds where strategically viable. The founders bring extensive experience: Gould helped take Build-a-Bear public, and James is recognized for branding and marketing work, while the company does not charge management fees.
