New Frontier Data (dba Frontier Financial Group) is an independent, technology-driven analytics firm that provides market data and information on the cannabis industry across 68 countries. The company positions itself as an issue-neutral information source to inform cannabis-related policy and business decisions through rigorous and comprehensive analysis. New Frontier Data does not engage in growing, manufacturing, distribution, or sale of cannabis and does not take a position on legalization. The press release reports a $500,000 investment from Gladstone Financial Corporation. The release describes the company as a valuable, must-have information service for industry participants and regulators. The article does not disclose revenues, user metrics, or other financial details. New Frontier Financials builds data and analytics tools for the marijuana market, offering a platform that aggregates information from cultivators, national organizations, government agencies and states. The company launched a new data platform called Equio and published its first report on 4/20. Its datasets cover pricing, energy consumption, and the socio-economic background of consumers, and the firm says it does not work with black‑market data. CEO Giadha Aguirre De Carcer founded the company last August and the downtown‑based team is about 15 employees. The company says the industry’s data is highly fragmented and lacks standardized reporting, which Equio aims to help address. New Frontier has raised a total of $1 million so far and also used Kickstarter earlier to fund a related docu‑series project.
