The Investors

In another thread, a poster indicated there were additional owners. I am under that same impression, as Brian and Caitlin certainly didn't come across as flush with cash (based upon their older model car and modest apartment). So, the question I have is: who are the primary financial backers to this endeavor and what is their relationship to Brian and Caitlin?

Are the fat-cats well-to-do locals with a liberal/progressive streak? Caitlin's parents? Brian's old college buddy? A dealer wanting to go legit?

What also intrigues me is the financial arrangement between the investors and Brian and Caitlin. What is Brian and Caitlin's percentage of ownership? 5% each? 10%? 20%

If Brian and Caitlin had only 5% ownership each, and if the BCC made one million dollars in profits over the 2014 ski season (say Jan through April) that would leave them with a combined $100,000 over 4 months of work. And then I assume they take a manager/owner salary during the slower months. I wouldn't shake a stick at that.

But I would be curious to see hard numbers on what the Breckenridge Cannabis Club is actually doing sales-wise.

Well, I'm not a business expert that's for sure. But in one of the episodes, I want to say episode 4 or 5, don't remember exactly. They briefly, extemely briefly zoomed in on a "co-owner" of BCC, some guy.

I doubt it's Caitlin's parents, just a guess though. In the first episode or two it showed the opening of the club. Caitlin's mom gave her a big hug and was the first customer in the door, something like that.

They seemed to focus mainly on Caitlin, stressing her business acumen etc. That's why I personally can't get over the feeling of disappointment when I see her boo-hoo-hooing in every dang episode now and just wanting out.

Yeah there probably is a lot Not being disclosed about actual business ownership or investors. Gotta run.

I thought they said she owned 80%

i don't think brian would bust his ass for 5%. before the store blew up, it was just floating for 4 years. they said in the first episode that they got investments from family members. i would be very surprised if they owned less than 50% because they were making all the decisions. brian was also the ceo and coo too. caitlin was like his accountant and adviser. for some reason, she also had a dispensary owner's permit and he didn't.
