OPERATOR-LED. THESIS-DRIVEN.
Private Investment
& Advisory
SIVA Capital is an operator-led private equity and advisory firm built on a behavioral health thesis — deploying capital in cannabis and psychedelics, the regulated substance categories where more than two decades of inside knowledge creates an edge that outside capital cannot replicate.
Over twenty years building inside these industries means we know which levers actually move these businesses. That knowledge is the edge we deploy.
What We Do
Where Operator Experience
Meets Private Capital
Investment Strategy
SIVA Capital pursues distressed asset consolidation and buy-and-build opportunities in cannabis and psychedelics — regulated substance categories where behavioral health and private capital intersect. We invest where deep operational knowledge creates an advantage that capital alone cannot buy.
Advisory
Strategic advisory, M&A, crisis management, regulatory affairs, and expert witness services for operators, investors, and legal teams navigating high-stakes decisions in complex markets. Built for situations where the outcome matters and the margin for error is zero.
Insights
Analysis, research, and market intelligence on the industries we operate in — written for those who make decisions, not headlines. Annual reports, regulatory perspectives, and market analysis grounded in direct participation, not secondary observation.
What People Say

Avis brings a full service approach … and full understanding of the intricacies of the marijuana business. His expertise runs the gamut from access to capital, building relationships, to the many complex nuances of marijuana production and distribution. I once attended a meeting with Avis and the engineers from a utility company. He knew as much, if not more, than the top engineers of a large utility company. That kind of knowledge is a necessity for the business person who wants to grow and dispense marijuana…
Mr. Bulbulyan served as an expert witness in a case my firm handled. He was able to quickly digest a lot of detailed information and always responded in a timely manner. His rates were fair, and he worked efficiently. Importantly, he was able to take detailed information and convey his conclusions in a succinct and easy-to-understand manner. Without his expert analysis, we would not have been as well positioned going into trial. He was critical to reaching a favorable resolution — one which greatly benefitted our client.
I have been working with Avis since 2013 — our initial application received the highest score in Massachusetts, and his direct guidance shaped every stage of our build, from cultivation and processing to our dispensaries. Avis has the ability to break down the complexities of this business in a way that actually makes sense, and his advice has always been grounded and practical. Nine years later, we still have him on retainer. He conducts on-site reviews twice a year and remains our first call on everything from operations to the industry at large.
