Frequently asked questions

How does Altitude Investment Management source proprietary deal flow?

The firm states it relies on proprietary deal-sourcing capabilities built over a decade of working together in the cannabis industry. The partners maintain professional organization memberships and a network of connections across multiple cannabis verticals — from cultivation to data analytics — which they use for idea generation and access to direct investment opportunities (per the firm).

Is Altitude Investment Management structured as a venture firm or a private equity firm?

It operates as a private equity firm with a venture-style mandate. The firm targets early-stage seed and startup rounds as well as expansion- and late-stage growth equity, all within the legal cannabis industry. This hybrid approach lets the partners invest across the lifecycle of foundational cannabis companies.

Does Altitude Investment Management participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

All disclosed activity points to direct equity investments. The firm’s published portfolio includes operating companies across cultivation, edibles, compliance technology, and media — typical of direct deal-by-deal deployment rather than commitments to other managers. There is no mention of fund-of-funds or subscription to third-party vehicles.
