$MNTR Acquires Cannabis Investor Webcast on 4.20

Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) reports that it has acquired 100% of Cannabis Investor Webcast as the first member of Mentor Capital’s Public Market Incubator Program. “We are extremely pleased to be backing and mentoring founder Derwin A. Wallace who has the creativity, high energy and investor knowledge required to grow and enter his high margin business into the public company ranks,” says Mentor CEO, Chet Billingsley. “While his business is groomed for public status, he and his original investors may enjoy public market liquidity by being able to sell the Mentor Capital, Inc. acquisition shares received, after a holding period.” The Mentor program allows founders to roll unsold or still retained acquisition shares into any later IPO. At that time, a significant block of the remaining Cannabis Investor Webcast shares may be sent by special dividend into the hands of Mentor Capital’s 4,000 shareholders. This essentially creates a second spinoff public company for them, at cost, with a robust cannabis interested trading base. According to Mentor, the spinoff approach avoids the large expense and especially the 10% to 15% ownership slice extracted from owners and then often dumped in the market when a reverse merger is used by private cannabis companies to become public.

Cannabis Investor Webcast President, Derwin A. Wallace is excited to be working with CEO Billingsley and Mentor Capital. “They have the experience and know-how to help Cannabis Investor Webcast navigate through the emerging high-growth cannabis industry. Having Mentor Capital as a partner gives a cannabis company like ours access to capital, the ability to grow, and the resources to possibly spinoff as a publicly-traded company.”
