LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwired – May 2, 2017) – Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), a diversified holding company operating in media and marijuana, today announces the acquisition of Marijuana Incubator and its further development to launch a new division called Marijuana Accelerator.
Marijuana Accelerator is part of PNTV’s overall strategy to gain market share by developing a national footprint in the legal medical marijuana industry. Aligned with its mission “to identify and develop ventures in the marijuana industry,” Marijuana Accelerator is designed as a marijuana industry ecosystem that will attract entrepreneurs and investors to the PNTV network for partnership opportunities.
Marijuana Accelerator intends to work in the following capacities:
- Entrepreneurs and Companies. Provide capital, tools and resources for entrepreneurs.

“The marijuana industry is lacking much-needed accelerator and incubator-style mentoring organizations, and we are pleased to present our unique solution to meet this need,” says Brett H. Pojunis, member of PNTV’s Board of Directors. “There is a lot of excitement in this industry. It reminds me of the dot com era, as we get elevator pitches all the time!
