In this episode of The Exit: April Pride, a creative entrepreneur with multiple successful exits in the cannabis industry, shares her journey from interior design and branding to founding a cannabis accessories company, which she sold within three years for a 28X return.

She discusses the challenges of raising capital as a woman in the cannabis industry and her decision to exit early despite criticism. April highlights the importance of timing in exits, emphasizing the need to sell before burnout and to trust one's intuition while considering market forecasts.

She explains how her company's valuation was based on their email list's value in the Canadian market, where opt-in regulations made consumer data crucial.

April is now working on SetSet, a platform providing education and integration tools for psychedelic experiences, aiming to make these resources more accessible and affordable.

For more details and insights from her entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit.
