A Life Changing Exit
In this episode of Inspired to Invest, I sit down with Basem Hanna — serial entrepreneur, cannabis pioneer, and now real estate developer / exempt market dealmaker through his firm Almega Co.
Basem’s journey is compelling: from scaling TerrAscend (TER.CN), navigating cannabis regulations and market cycles, to executing a strategic exit — then leaning into real estate development, capital markets, and building a new vehicle for investors via the exempt market.
We cover:
How he approached growth in a volatile, highly regulated cannabis industry- The mindset and signals that led him to exit
- What lessons carried over into real estate and capital markets
- How Almega Co. is structuring deals and redefining access for private investors
- Advice for entrepreneurs and investors looking to pivot, scale, or exit
