Privateer Holdings is a Seattle-based financial services firm founded in 2010 by three veterans of investment banking and venture capital. It mobilizes a global base of investors through acquisitions, investments, and incubation to build a portfolio of cannabis-focused brands intended to lead and legitimize the industry. In a sector that has faced stigma and inconsistent business practices, the firm emphasizes delivering consistent quality and service to raise consumer expectations. The firm operates within the cannabis industry and positions itself around a belief that cannabis is a mainstream product, prohibition will end, and brands will shape the industry's future. Its team combines hands-on management with experience across academia, marketing, operations, and public-sector backgrounds, including Ivy League MBAs, PhD researchers, marketing professionals from leading brands, and former federal law enforcement professionals. Based in Seattle, Washington, Privateer describes itself as a relatively small team focused on active management.
