Our guest on this episode is Daniel Sax (Baker ’12), who founded and leads both Sensi Properties and Sauvage Capital. As the founder and CEO of Sensi Properties, a real estate investment firm focused on the acquisition and development of cannabis properties in Canada, Mr. Sax is at the forefront of a burgeoning industry fraught with both challenge and opportunity.

On this episode, we discuss the growth of the legal cannabis industry in Canada and its implications on real estate. Mr. Sax saw a generational opportunity to apply his real estate expertise to address space-based inefficiencies, many driven by capital market frictions, in the cannabis industry. Mr. Sax shares how he executed on this structural opportunity and speaks to his entrepreneurial journey and the path that lies ahead.
