Business, or for that matter life, in the US doesn’t operate without credit reports.

Cannabis needs it desperately so it’s good to see somebody taking the issue seriously.

Kraig Fox

I am the Founder and CEO of REKLAIM Credit Solutions, a commercial credit rating and reporting agency built specifically for the regulated cannabis industry.

Cannabis runs on trade credit, but companies throughout the supply chain have historically extended millions of dollars in unsecured terms without access to the commercial credit intelligence available in virtually every other major industry.

REKLAIM is being built to change that.

We combine cannabis-specific accounts receivable and payment history, public records, regulatory data and predictive analytics to help businesses evaluate commercial credit risk before extending terms — including credit scores, suggested credit limits, credit reports and ongoing monitoring.

My interest in the problem comes from both sides of the table.

I have spent more than a decade as an investor, advisor and operator in cannabis and more than 30 years building, operating, financing and consolidating businesses.

Earlier in my career I helped build companies that became part of iHeartMedia, Live Nation and Core Media. I subsequently held senior leadership and investment roles at Guggenheim Partners and Eldridge Industries and served as President and CEO of High Times.

Across that career I have overseen more than 100 M&A transactions representing more than $10 billion in aggregate transaction value through six public-company platforms.
