Seattle, WA -- August 14, 2018 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- CFN Media Group (“CFN Media”), the leading agency
and financial media network dedicated to the North American
cannabis industry, today announced publication of an article
covering Tree of Knowledge International Corp. (CSE:TOKI) (OTC:TRKWF).
The company recently began trading on the
Canadian Securities Exchange, or CSE, following the reverse merger
of Courtland Capital Inc. by private Nevada company Tree of
Knowledge Inc.
Investors interested in capitalizing on the growing demand for
cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp-based sources may want to take a closer
look at the company — particularly given its strong management team
and advisory board. According to the Hemp Business Journal, U.S.
hemp-based product sales could reach nearly $2 billion by 2022,
making it one of the fastest growing segments in the burgeoning
cannabis space.
Unique Focus on Hemp-based CBD
Since its start in 2011, Tree of Knowledge has grown to become a
leading producer and distributor of CBD rich hemp oil, capsules,
tinctures, salvation balms, and other hemp-based products designed
to provide consumers with a high-quality source of cannabidiol
(CBD) — even in jurisdictions where marijuana isn’t legal,
including much of Europe and Asia. CBD can be derived from either
marijuana or hemp, and when it is derived from USDA approved
industrial hemp, there is protection under US Farm Bill legislation
from enforcement action by regulators in the US.
The company’s products consist of hemp-based CBD cannabinoids
along with other organic, gluten-free, and vegan natural
ingredients. After using a third party to test all of its products,
the company labels each product with a QR code where customers can
login and see the Certificate of Analysis to confirm purity and be
assured that there are no pesticides, microbial, or heavy metals in
the product. These products are sold throughout North America,
South America, Asia, and Europe, with support from many medical
professionals.
The company also plans on launching an innovative genetic enzyme
marking technology in the near-term to help healthcare
practitioners read the genetic disposition of a patient to see how
they will metabolize various cannabinoids. In addition, the
company’s exclusive BrainBot™ license also enables it to provide
healthcare practitioners with an EEG headband to see how
cannabinoids affect patients. These tools could make it easier for
healthcare practitioners to recommend hemp-based products to their
patients.
Experienced Founders
Brian Main and Michael Caridi founded Tree of Knowledge as a
small boutique hemp oil operation in 2011 that has become an
internationally recognized firm.
Mr. Main began his career in the U.S. Marine Corps in a security
role guarding classified materials with an ETNAC-5 security
clearance. After serving his country, he studied microbiological
genetic technologies at Eastern Washington University before being
recalled to duty in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Upon returning,
he worked in the family real estate business before starting
several of his own ventures in the mid 1990s. He has focused
exclusively on the medical marijuana and industrial hemp industries
since 2011.
Mr. Caridi is the Managing Director of Bedford Capital Partners,
which specializes in business development and consulting across
various industries. With over $200 million in deal flow in his
career, Mr. Caridi has held roles in the development of diabetic,
Alzheimer’s diseases, and regenerative skin companies, as well as
worked in real estate projects, such as the demilitarization and
scrapping of the USS Bennington aircraft carrier and various
construction projects with Fortune 500 companies over several
years.
These two co-founders are well positioned to grow the company
over the coming years given their extensive expertise across many
different industries in the past.
Strong Advisory Board
Tree of Knowledge has amassed a strong advisory board following
its success in growing its operations around the world.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta is perhaps one of the most well known advisory
board members. In addition to serving as President of DrCircle.com,
he has appeared on various television platforms and as the Director
of Health Time TV, comprised of more than 160,000 medical
professionals. He is a Harvard trained pain specialist and
President of the American Pain Association, as well as an outspoken
proponent of medical marijuana and its role in fighting the opioid
epidemic.
Ambassador Jack Brewer is also very well known as a NFL player
for the Minnesota Vikings. After a career as an exceptional special
teams player and versatile defensive back, he accepted a position
as a wealth manager at Merrill Lynch in the Global Private Equity
Client Group in New York City. He then struck out on his own as the
CEO and Portfolio Manager of The Brewer Group, which makes
investments into private and public companies across many different
vertical markets.
Christopher Kaplan has over 25 years experience in life sciences
with a successful track record that covers R&D, operations,
strategy, business development and M&A. He has pioneered new
drug development activities in support of a more personalized
medicine approach to patients care. Throughout half of his career,
he lived and worked outside of the U.S., providing TOK/EVR with a
strong global biopharma perspective. He has also held significant
Global, European, and US leadership roles at Bristol-Myers Squibb,
Novartis, Boehringer-Ingelheim, and most recently, as Senior Vice
President and Head of North American for Sanofi. Chris holds a
Bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and a Masters degree
from the University of Pennsylvania.
The company also has several other advisory board members that
have strong expertise throughout the cannabis industry supply chain
and related industries. This experience will help guide the company
as it continues to make progress building out its business presence
around the world.
Looking Ahead
Tree of Knowledge International Corp. (CSE:TOKI) represents a compelling
investment opportunity in the global hemp industry. After going
public on the CSE, the company’s strong management team and
advisory board are well positioned to capitalize on the growing
demand for hemp-based products and ultimately build long-term value
for shareholders. Management expects to generate $5.3 million and
$28 million in revenue in 2018 and 2019, respectively, before
reaching $49 million in revenue by 2020.
