About the Summit

Strengthening Founders. Expanding Access.

Where Equity Meets Opportunity

The Cannabis Equity Summit is designed to close the gap between social equity founders and the capital, infrastructure, and relationships needed for business growth.

As the culminating event of BIPOCann’s Fall 2026 Advanced Mentorship Program, the Summit features 20+ founders of early & growth stage social equity-licensed businesses who have completed structured mentorship and technical assistance designed to support operational readiness, financial management, and fundraising.

Through intentional networking and educational programming, the Summit fosters collaboration across Colorado’s regulated cannabis market—while highlighting the ongoing need for business development support and funding for equity-licensed businesses.

“This is where real connections turn into real opportunities.”
