A Shared Mission for Inclusion: Funding Fixed Congratulates Frank Shaw on His Appointment

On behalf of myself, Jared Salter, COO and Co-Founder of Funding Fixed, and our entire team, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Frank Shaw on his appointment to a third term on the Massachusetts Cannabis Advisory Board.

Frank has done more than advocate—he’s educated, elevated, and held us all to a higher standard. His tireless work has helped many of us better understand just how critical financial inclusion is to the cannabis industry. He’s shown that access to capital, reliable banking, and long-term financial health are essential—not only for industry stability but for ensuring that small businesses, caregivers, and social equity licensees can succeed.

At Funding Fixed, we’ve spent years developing funding solutions that are both accessible and sustainable. Frank has spent just as long pushing for a regulatory and financial system that recognizes the unique risks and realities cannabis entrepreneurs face. This moment feels like a shared milestone—a sign that advocacy and infrastructure are finally aligning.

We’re fortunate to have an inclusion advocate who thinks not just about policy, but about the real people running these businesses. Their financial health matters. Their future matters. And because of leaders like Frank, we’re reminded why we have to keep showing up and building better.

Congratulations, Frank. We’re proud to support the mission alongside you.
