Founded in 2010, Privateer Holdings was the first private equity firm to make significant investments in the emerging legal cannabis sector. The firm's mission was to build a portfolio of global cannabis brands by acquiring and creating companies that would lead, legitimize, and define the future of the industry. Its most notable investments included the cannabis producer Tilray, the cannabis information resource Leafly, and the brand Marley Natural. Following the successful IPO of Tilray, Privateer Holdings completed a downstream merger with Tilray in 2019, effectively winding down its operations as a standalone entity and distributing its assets to its shareholders.
