Cannabis

With a focus on making acquisitions and investments in the emerging legal cannabis sector, Tumbleweed Holdings has hired two management executives to help with a growing pipeline of deals.

The US rapper contributed to the $10m Series A round of funding for Eaze, a San Francisco headquartered company.

Privateer Holdings has raised the round from a mix of family offices, high net worth individuals and institutional investors including PayPal's Peter Thiel.

Flow Kana, the Californian service promoting organic cannabis production, is raising capital for technology improvements.

At least three investment firms are offering exposure to the herb as M&A volumes increase, according to PwC.
