Safe Harbor Equity & Highly Capitalized Network Announce Strategic Capital Advisory & Investor Outreach Partnership

LOS ANGELES — September 8, 2026 — Safe Harbour Equity, Inc. and Highly Capitalized Network-HCN today announced a strategic partnership to help carefully selected companies strengthen their investment propositions, reach qualified investors and build the relationships required to raise capital.

The partnership unites two complementary capabilities. Safe Harbour Equity contributes an extensive investor and professional network, along with decades of experience in finance, investment real estate, capital structures, mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations and complex transactions. HCN brings the scale of a specialist financial media platform that creates high-quality, investor-focused content and distributes it through its website, newsletter, LinkedIn presence and affiliate relationships. Together, these channels reach more than 70,000 investors, executives and decision-makers active in Cannabis and related industries.

Rather than relying on conventional capital introductions or short-lived investor campaigns, the partnership will help companies build visibility, credibility and sustained investor engagement. Its integrated approach includes strategic capital guidance, investor positioning, sponsored programming, videos, digital presentations, podcasts, targeted outreach and investor events.

“Capital raising is ultimately built on credibility, preparation and trusted relationships,” said Peter Ingersoll, CEO of Safe Harbour Equity, Inc. “Safe Harbour Equity has developed an extensive network and deep transaction experience over many years. By combining those relationships with HCN’s ability to communicate an investment story at scale, we can help strong companies present themselves more effectively and reach a broader pool of potential investors.”

Ingersoll is a Wharton-educated finance professional with more than 40 years of experience across investment real estate, construction, development, private banking, investment banking, securities and complex capital structures. His experience evaluating businesses, transactions and investment opportunities will help keep the partnership selective and focused on credible companies with serious management teams and clearly defined capital requirements.

Mark Collins, President of Highly Capitalized Network-HCN, brings extensive international marketing, media and executive leadership experience. Before founding HCN, Collins held senior roles with Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, CNN, JDE Peet’s. Since entering the Cannabis industry in 2016, he has helped companies communicate investment opportunities, build market visibility and support capital-raising initiatives across Cannabis, hemp, psychedelics and wellness.

“Safe Harbour Equity brings relationships, financial intelligence and decades of deal-making experience. HCN brings world-class content, digital distribution and the ability to reach investors repeatedly at scale,” said Collins. “Peter and I understand that capital is rarely raised through a single introduction or presentation. Investors need to understand the opportunity, trust the management team and see sustained evidence that the business can execute. Together, we are going to create that momentum. Frankly, we intend to crush it.”

The partnership integrates capital strategy with investor communications. Safe Harbour Equity and HCN will help participating companies sharpen their investment case and communicate it consistently across multiple formats and channels.

HCN’s content-driven model allows an investment story to keep working long after the initial meeting. Interviews, articles, videos, presentations and sponsored programming can educate the market, answer recurring investor questions and generate measurable engagement. Safe Harbour Equity can then use its experience and relationships to identify appropriate conversations and guide companies through the capital-development process.

“This is not about blasting a pitch deck to a cold list,” added Ingersoll. “It is about identifying compelling opportunities, preparing them properly and building informed relationships between credible management teams and potential sources of capital. HCN gives us a powerful platform to accomplish that with greater scale and consistency.”

The partnership will initially focus on select growth companies and investment opportunities where the combined resources of Safe Harbour Equity and HCN can deliver a meaningful strategic advantage. Each engagement will be evaluated individually based on the company, management team, investment structure, stage of development and readiness for investor outreach.
