Aurora Cannabis 

It’s been a rough road for some of the OG’s of the cannabis industry. Today, Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) said its Co-Founder Terry Booth had retired from his role as Director of the Company, effective June 26, 2020. Mr. Booth was the Chief Executive Officer of Aurora from December 2014 through February 2020 and served on Aurora’s Board of Directors since December 2014. 

According to Wikipedia, Aurora was founded in 2006 by Terry Booth, Steve Dobler, Dale Lesack, and Chris Mayerson. Booth and Dobler collectively invested over $5 million of their own capital. The founding group secured a 160+ acre parcel of land in Mountain View County, Alberta, where they established Aurora’s first facility. The company received its license to grow cannabis in 2014, making it the first cannabis producer to obtain a federal license in that province. The company went public in Canada in 2017 and then in 2018 began trading at the New York Stock Exchange.

Green Market Report CEO Debra Borchardt: 

Kevin Harrington has recently joined with Cannaprenuer Partners, a company that is investing in cannabis companies. Kevin, you’ve not been in cannabis, but you have certainly been in the corporate world and businesses. You’ve been helping so many companies get started or grow. What at this point prompted you to get into cannabis and specifically choose to join up with Cannaprenuer? 

Kevin Harrington: 

Great question. Thank you. If I go all the way back, I’ve been a product guy for many years. 38 years ago I was creating infomercials and As Seen on TV, and doing some fun things with Jack LaLanne and the juicer, and George Foreman, and Tony Little, and Billy Mays. That’s been my previous life, and taking a lot of pitches. Of course, then original Shark on Shark Tank, being able to take pitches on national television, that was pretty cool. But one thing Shark Tank never did, they never took pitches about cannabis. Shark Tank is on ABC Network. It’s the Disney Group and so cannabis was not their cup of tea. I don’t know if they’ll change that at some point, but most of the entrepreneurs and judges and Sharks are in cannabis investments, O’Leary and Cuban, et cetera.
