What CannaVentures International Corp. does

CannaVentures International Corp. (operating as CannaVentures, Inc.) is a US-based cannabis-focused financial and consulting firm targeting small to mid-sized cannabis operators in US states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana. The company's core offering is a streaming/royalty financing model in which CannaVentures provides capital to cannabis joint venture partners in exchange for the right to purchase a negotiated percentage of crop or processed yield at approximately cost, supplemented by ongoing consulting fees and a small equity ownership stake in the partner company.

Beyond capital deployment, CannaVentures bundles an operational consulting practice covering facility design, equipment procurement, licensing and regulatory guidance, marketing, sales support, and proprietary Six Sigma Cultivation and Processing Methods. The firm also operates a Real Estate Services vertical that sources or purchases property within designated cannabis 'green zones' and leases those facilities to cannabis tenants, including sale/leaseback structures. Revenue is intended to flow from four streams: royalty/streaming income from yield purchases at cost, professional consulting fees, rental income on green-zone properties, and equity appreciation on partner stakes.

The company is founder-led by CEO Mark Lovinger, who has over 20 years of cannabis-adjacent operating experience including building R & M Supply, Inc. to $38M in annual sales prior to its 2013 sale. The operating team includes a COO (Mitch Silverman) and CFO (Qianni Sun), supported by an advisory bench with capital markets and Fortune 50 experience. CannaVentures describes itself as having taken an 'institutional approach' by structuring itself to access public capital markets, though the website's Investors portal remains 'Under Construction' and no public ticker, SEC filings, funding rounds, joint venture portfolio companies, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Consulting Services Revenue: CannaVentures provides high-level consulting services to cannabis companies in exchange for ongoing consulting fees. Services include facility design, equipment procurement, operational training, licensing guidance, marketing, and sales support.
2. Royalty/Streaming Revenue: The company receives royalty payments structured as a right to purchase at cost (approximately) a negotiated percentage of crop or processed yield. This provides recurring income streams from cannabis investments with no recurring costs or daily maintenance expenditures.
3. Equity Ownership: In addition to consulting fees and royalties, CannaVentures receives small equity ownership in joint venture partner companies, providing potential upside from equity appreciation.
4. Real Estate Leasing: CannaVentures purchases real estate in designated 'green zones' and leases these properties to cannabis businesses (green tenants). This provides rental income with high capitalization rates compared to traditional real estate.
