Sector Tracker
The Viridian Sector Tracker is the premier resource to follow the movement of capital and M&A by sector.
Viridian Capital Advisors partitions the cannabis universe into 12 subsectors and each week we follow the transactions that occur in each of these subsectors, giving investors the ability to spot sector rotations early.
Since the Tracker’s inception in 2015, Cultivation & Retail has been the largest subsector. However, we have recently tracked an increase in activity within the Agriculture Technology, Software and Infused Products & Extracts sectors.
