Bang Digital Media and The Arcview Group to Produce Unscripted Television Series about the Lows and Highs of Cannabis Start-Ups and Investments

Miami Beach, FL, Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bang Digital Media, Inc – a wholly owned subsidiary of Bang Holdings Corp. (OTC:BXNG) (the “Company”) announced today that the Company has entered into an Exclusive Development Agreement with The Arcview Group to tell the stories of high net worth investors who are not afraid, despite federal illegality, to fund cannabis start-up companies. The unscripted television series is planned to be part CNBC’s The Profit and part ABC’s Shark Tank. 

The Arcview Group is one of the largest, and the first collective of high net worth cannabis investors to openly invest in cannabis -- members have together invested in excess of $190,000,000 in more than 175 ventures. Their extremely competitive, and highly entertaining pitch events have been called the “TechCrunch Disrupt” of the cannabis industry, giving an opportunity for new cannabis start-ups to pitch their companies to their accredited investor network.  And, for those that are successful, it is an opportunity to work with some of the best, most experienced business minds and mentors in the cannabis industry.

Bang Digital Media Inc. creates original cannabis content generating hundreds of millions of digital content views for their canna-centric social media audience of more than 2,500,000. 

“We are honored that The Arcview Group has entrusted our company to document and help share the story of how, in just a few years, cannabis travelled from the deep underground to become a multi-billion dollar industry,” Steve Berke, CEO of Bang Digital Media said. “The interviews that we’ve shot with these entrepreneurs show that we are in a time of transition similar to the end of American Prohibition, and, although most people support legalization, the business environment is still quite edgy, investing is extremely risky, and that makes for an exciting series about interesting characters with dramatic and compelling stories.”
