Commenting on his appointment, Nicco Reggente replied, “CrowdGather is an interesting company in the cannabis space in that it seeks to build a portfolio of digital assets to capture in parallel the explosive growth occurring in the medical and recreational fields, but without exposure to the liabilities and logistical challenges faced by those businesses.
