“BUY PRIVATE – SELL PUBLIC – CAPTURE THE UPSIDE”
When companies move from being privately held to publicly traded, valuation accretion can immediately provide early investors an opportunity to profit from what is referred to as a “private to public valuation arbitrage.” It’s certainly not guaranteed, but it appears to happen the vast majority of times.
Public Company Valuations are Almost Always Higher than those for Private Companies
Private companies typically suffer from much lower valuations than do their public counterparts. This is because in addition to the same potential risks that public companies face, private company investments entail several significant drawbacks:
- Because there is no public market for shares in a private company, an investor who wishes to sell his or her share position must find a specific individual or group that may legally purchase their stock, and then do considerable legal paperwork to complete the sale.
- Because information about the business results and plans of a private company can be hard to come by, as they have no disclosure requirements and do not make filings with the SEC / U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This makes it difficult to correctly assess the likely fair value of private company shares.
Therefore, public company valuations can be and typically are 2 to 5 and sometimes, 10 times higher for public companies than for private ones, all other things being equal. In the Hyper-Growth, U.S. legal cannabis and medical marijuana industries,returns can be super-charged. The accreted value can happen in a period of several months to several years.
We believe that this, perhaps more than any other single factor, makes an investment in Pre IPO Private Cannabis Offerings, very attractive to would-be investors. And…in particular, we think you should take a close look at… this particular company.
Greenleaf Industries, Inc.
Greenleaf Industries is a rare opportunity for individuals to consider an investment in a Pre IPO Cannabis Company and possibly participate in a private to public company valuation arbitrage.
The Company is an early mover in the production, manufacture and distribution of high-grade CBD oil products derived from all-organic, full-spectrum, Colorado hemp extract.
Greenleaf has completed the formulation of multiple CBD oil infused product lines… actually, you could call them a “Cannabis Brands Company,” with an aspirationto be the Proctor & Gamble of cannabis.
The Company’s subsidiaries and multiple brands being developed include:
- Greenleaf Farms, Inc.: providing over-the-counter and holistic healthcare solutions: its all-organic, full-spectrum CBD oil products have been sold on-line for over 2 ½ years;
- MediJaneRX: a pharmaceutical-grade medical brand focused on professional dispensary sales;
- PetMedic: an all-natural line of pet CBD oil medicinals being developed to support the daily health regimens for the 150 million dog and cat pets in the U.S.;
- Smiley STICK will be a brand focused on recreational sales;
- NeuroSport Pro is a professional strength line of pain, inflammation and neuro-protectant products the Company is developing for advanced injury protocols. NeuroSport Pro will include a full line of hemp-based nutritional and sports recovery supplements.
Greenleaf has developed and owns all of the intellectual property for these brands, which are in different stages of sales, marketing and distribution.

We had a chance to review the recently released, one page Greenleaf Corporate Profile which summarizes what the Company believes could be a tremendous Pre IPO investment opportunity and lists “Five Reasons to Invest in Greenleaf Industries TODAY…!
- Pre-IPO investment opportunity focused on the hyper-growth U.S. legal cannabis industry.
- Seasoned management team and advisors have extensive capital markets and public company experience and cannabis domain expertise.
- Tested proprietary marketing models, which leverages the Company’s media assets, yield a 10 to 1 ROI / Return On Investment; each dollar spent generates $10 in retail sales.
- Greenleaf Industries, Inc. intends to complete an IPO / Initial Public Offering in FY2019; early investors could potentially share in a private to public company valuation arbitrage that might yield 5 to 15 to 25 times their investment. “No guarantees, but the potential is there.”
- Defined liquidity path with successful FY2019 IPO – this means no long-term lock-up of minority investors in a private company waiting to be acquired; stock would be freely tradable.
HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Greenleaf Industries, Inc. could be a ground floor investment opportunity with tremendous upside potential. It is a private cannabis-focused company positioned in the fastest growing industry in the U.S. and probably the entire world…the CDB oil, medical marijuana and hemp industries.
The Company had been raising capital in a Reg D private placement that offered investors an opportunity to convert their investment into common stock. For Pre-IPO Capital Partners, they were offering a 50% Discount to Market on the first round of public financing.
So if the stock opened at $1.00, and you were in at $0.50, you could have an immediate upside potential of 100% or more. And, we’re fairly sure they don’t intend to stop there…we think they fully intend to strive for a 5 to 10 to 25X increase from that $1.00 level. Contact the Company for up-to-date information about current capital raises.
Here’s the kicker…Greenleaf has been positioning itself to be public through an S1 Registration or a reverse merger into an already trading public company. Reverse mergers are also “event certain” strategies to take companies public. When the reverse is complete or the S1 is declared effective, the Company should be in position to begin trading on the OTC Markets. There is no guarantee that the Company will be public this year or ever, but that is their stated plan.
This is how Pre-IPO investors can profit from the “private to public valuation arbitrage.”
