Artemis Growth Partners

Artemis Growth Partners is an investment firm that backs legal cannabis businesses across the value chain, with an emphasis on environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and measurable impact. Founded in 2015, the firm began investing in cannabis in the same year and now reports more than US$300 million in mission-driven discretionary assets under oversight. Its activity is global in scope.

The firm's discretionary investment vehicles deploy capital across the cannabis value chain, including branded products, distributors, value-added service providers, ancillary operators and science-driven research and development platforms. Investment themes are concentrated in four areas: branded products, distribution and commerce, cannabis genetics and technology. Broader sector coverage extends to healthcare and medical access, agriculture and regenerative farming, and health and wellness.

Technical domains of interest include cannabis genetics, science-driven research and development, technology platforms, regenerative farming and health and wellness. The team combines investors, operators and advisors with emerging industry and licensed cannabis experience.

Governance and impact are stated as operating priorities rather than overlays: the firm describes an emphasis on strong governance, strategy and controls, and on improving outcomes for owners, employees, communities, vendors, customers and patients. Declared impact priorities include compassionate medical access, responses to the opioid crisis, social justice, health and wellness, and regenerative farming.
