"This commitment from our strategic partner signals their confidence in our business as we continue to deliver on our promise to be one of the leading vertically integrated cannabis operators with a deep footprint in the most mature cannabis market in the world," said Andy Williams, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medicine Man Technologies. "We continue to add new team members to strengthen our company as we move forward in executing on our plan. The members from Dye Capital are not only increasing their investment, but are personally invested in the Company and have directly been responsible for successfully implementing a similar growth strategy through acquisitions in the grocery industry. There they grew Albertsons from $10 billion in revenue to over $60 billion in revenue. We have increased our industry footprint with the announcements of several pending acquisitions to build a vertically integrated powerhouse that will combine the best and brightest industry founders into one organization."

The Company also announced the addition of Todd Williams as Chief Strategy Officer in June, who has over 24 years of consulting and asset valuation experience.
