PRINCETON, NJ, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bar Capital, a New Jersey-based private equity firm led by Anand Shahi and Daniel Dagen, is officially launching its cannabis-focused private equity platform at MJ Unpacked in Atlantic City, April 29 - May 1.

Founded in 2016 by Shahi, Bar Capital has built a proven track record of advisory, capital formation, implementing efficient operations, and designing and executing financial and governance strategies that unlock value for stakeholders.

“Our team has dedicated almost a year to creating a robust deal flow pipeline, generating M&A templates, identifying key operations personnel and service providers, defining tax strategies, researching ESOP conversions and unique regulatory requirements, and most importantly, understanding the behavior of the New Jersey cannabis consumer,” said Shahi, Bar Capital president and former CFO of Nova Farms.

"The company selected New Jersey, the nation's most densely populated state, with a fast-growing cannabis market, as its sole focus. The firm’s approach is built on three pillars: incorporating qualified retail licenses into the platform; implementing proprietary tax and cost-saving strategies to optimize cash flow; and providing capital with a turnkey solution for investing in a portfolio of quality retail locations.

"We are committed to supporting entrepreneurial license holders who may have secured high-traffic locations with adequate parking, but lack access to sufficient capital in a competitive and highly regulated market. By providing a strong corporate infrastructure with standardized operations across a portfolio of retail assets, we aim to provide the backing these qualified license holders need to operate with confidence and build deeper connections with the consumer in their local community,” said Dagen, CEO of Bar Capital."

Bar Capital’s strategy is uniquely built for New Jersey, where the regulatory landscape and market potential align. The platform is structured to enable store operators to have ownership in the license while becoming part of a broader network of locations that can cut the cost of operations and significantly increase the outlook for long-term success.

In alignment with the MJ Unpacked conference, the company will host a series of private investor dinners to deepen conversations and review potential partnerships.

“As a longtime New Jersey resident and consumer, I understand what this market demands,” said Shahi. “Customers expect a retail experience that consistently raises the bar, and that’s exactly why we chose the name Bar Capital. It reflects our commitment to operational excellence, talent recruitment, and delivering scalable value from day one.”
