Agrify Corp., an ancillary marijuana business that produces hardware and software for indoor cannabis cultivators, priced an upcoming initial public share offering at $10 per share, or $54 million.

  • Research and development.
  • Sales and marketing.
  • New personnel.
  • Capital expenditures.
  • An equipment-financing plan for customers.
  • Working capital and general corporate purposes.
