Morgan C. Paxhia
Founder at Poseidon Asset Manament LLC/Venture Capital/
Profile
Morgan Paxhia is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Poseidon, one of the longest running funds in the cannabis industry.
With over ten years experience in investing and finance, Morgan has developed a deep understanding of individual company analysis, portfolio construction, and risk mitigation.
Since 2012, he has dedicated his investment focus primarily to the cannabis industry.
Given the limited amount of information in this emerging vertical, the lack of institutional research, and relative industry immaturity, Morgan embraces an active approach of working closely with companies.
He utilizes a “boots on the ground” methodology to better understand individual companies and the industry.
Through his extensive travel across the US and Canada, reviewing hundreds of business plans and overseeing several existing cannabis investments, Morgan has developed Poseidon’s investment methodology tailored specific to the business of cannabis.
Poseidon’s proprietary process is driven by the time spent in the industry and the considerable data collected over the last several years.
He has created frameworks for analysis depending on sub-sector, company stage, and participation across the capital spectrum through our database of contacts, valuations, metrics, and other relevant factors.
Morgan started his investment career at UBS Financial Services working in a Wealth Management/ Investment Banking hybrid training program.
The training brought a wide range of first hand experience working through several facets of the organization, including advisory teams managing assets for high net worth individuals and municipal bonds trading.
Following UBS, Morgan transitioned to a Providence-based Registered Investment Advisor as an Investment Consultant.
During that time, he worked under the partners of the firm doing fundamental portfolio management.
Morgan graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S.
in Applied Mathematics in 2005.
