The 13 companies on this page all raised Post-IPO Debt within the Community and Lifestyle sector, with round dates running from December 2021 through October 2022. Cannabis operators are the dominant cohort — Acreage Holdings, Aurora Cannabis, Columbia Care, Christina Lake Cannabis, Icanic, Flower One, Halo, and Schwazze all appear, spanning New York to Denver to Vancouver. The single largest raise belongs to Carnival Corporation (Miami), which closed a $2.0B round in October 2022; Columbia Care (New York) follows at $185M in February 2022. At the opposite end, Christina Lake Cannabis (Vancouver) raised $110K in that same October 2022 window.
Canadian companies — primarily from Vancouver and Edmonton — account for four of the 13 entries, making British Columbia a notable cluster alongside US hubs such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Post-IPO Debt as a mechanism reflects companies drawing on public-market credit capacity rather than fresh equity, a pattern visible across both large incumbents like Carnival and smaller operators like Icanic ($1M, September 2022).
