FastForward Innovations Ltd (LON:FFWD) said it has taken part in the £14mln pre-IPO funding round for Northern Leaf, the Jersey-based medical cannabis group.
It received £600,000-worth of convertible loan notes in the heavily over-subscribed issue.
Chief executive Ed McDermott said, "Having become the first company to be awarded a UK licence to grow medicinal cannabis in 22 years late last year, Northern Leaf is focused on becoming a key player in the rapidly burgeoning European medical cannabis supply chain.
