Growing Talent

About the offering

Black entrepreneurs don’t have resources to take advantage of million-dollar opportunities. The cannabis industry is booming but many businesses are struggling due to poor infrastructure. Moreover, dispensaries owned by people of color are failing to launch in areas where cannabis markets are legal and lucrative due to a lack of resources such as capital, real estate, and technology. Less than 1 in 5 of dispensary owners are people of color. As more and more states legalize cannabis, there is a huge opportunity to cultivate and train entrepreneurs of color, especially those affected by the war on drugs, so they can begin to sell, manage, analyze, and expand their businesses under a nationally recognized brand. Solution: Growing Talent is designed to create dozens of Black-owned retail stores throughout America. We develop talent through our equity incubator and assist minority business owners, many of whom have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs, in the following areas: Licensing support. Compliance and regulatory training. Patient care with a focus on medication therapy management. Property procurement. Operations and supply chain development. Secure funding. Direct-to-consumer marketing. Our systematic approach combined with our proprietary technology increases the efficiency in which equity partners become Good Tree Owner-Operators, new stores are opened, and place products in customers’ hands in record time.
