Hard Questions for Cannabis Founders: Tony Schor on Creative Capital and M&A Strategies

The Dime

12/19/24 • 54 min

Partnerships are more critical in cannabis than in many other industries.

The line between success and failure is razor-thin, and most companies don’t have the resources to recover from a failed “marriage.”

One of the unique and beautiful challenges of the cannabis industry is the emotional connection founders have with their businesses. Much like a parent’s love for a child, founders tend to see only the good, often downplaying potential downsides.

The ability to stay grounded, ask the hard questions, and—most importantly—be culturally and mentally prepared to discuss a “marriage” with another group is daunting.

When conversations about capital or potential acquisitions arise, it’s easy to overvalue a business internally. Founders know the countless hours and effort that went into building it, which can cloud judgment about its true market value.

This week we sit down with Tony Schor to discuss:

Where partnerships fail.
Creative ways cannabis companies are securing capital.
Where people are investing in the cannabis industry.

First Mover Secrets with Colin Keeler: How Kiva’s Edibles Cover 80% of the U.S

The Dime

12/06/24 • 44 min

Kiva's products now reach 80% of the U.S. population.

Think about that for a second.

It’s a testament to how far the cannabis industry has come and the progress being made.

But, as with anything in the cannabis space, there are complexities, caveats, and unique challenges.

For instance, in some markets, consumers can access products directly through D2C channels or dispensaries. While these channels can complement each other and drive brand loyalty, the rise of D2C may also create tension with retailers, who were once the sole point of purchase.

This week, we sit down with Colin Keeler to break it all down and discuss:

Hemp & Cannabis Strategy
Minor cannabinoids they are testing

Chris Violas Breaks Down Blaze’s Software Infrastructure

The Dime

12/12/24 • 52 min

Software is unique: when it works as it should, no one thinks twice about it. But the moment there’s a hiccup or delay, it becomes an issue.

Building software that consistently runs seamlessly, while integrating additional features to create an “all-in-one” solution that’s easy to use? That’s nearly impossible.

Kudos to Chris Violas and the Blaze team for achieving just that. Leveraging his AWS background, Chris has created a software environment that boasts an impressive 99.1% customer satisfaction score.

The infrastructure may not be the sexiest part of software, but it’s the foundation everything else is built on. Much like adding a second level to a house, it can either be a smooth process or a massive headache, depending on the strength of the foundation.

This week, we sit down with Chris Violas to discuss:

What most people don’t know about software in cannabis.
Infrastructure and the connection to customer success.
Acquisitions, ecosystems, and the evolution of “all-in-one” solutions.

About Blaze:

A complete cannabis software suite designed to streamline and scale dispensary operations. BLAZE powers every aspect of your retail business with an intuitive point-of-sale, advanced inventory management, built-in loyalty, native e-commerce, and integrated cashless payments. Our goal is to provide a cohesive ecosystem that allows dispensaries to offer an exceptional shopping experience for customers.

when we talk mission critical infrastructure, like our system, like it's not okay just to have a lag. We have someone in front of the point of sale, like literally pushing buttons and wanting to check out. And so there's just no space for issues.

it's nice to have a storefront, but the reality is it is like 80% more efficient on so many levels to fulfill an online order than to have someone walk around with someone in store and hold their hand.

Key Topics Discussed

Chris's Entrepreneurial Journey (00:01:35)

Started in college after breaking his wrist
Launched a dispensary with his father during senior year
Transitioned to technology after realizing software could solve operational challenges

Blaze's Technology Infrastructure (00:08:29)

Focus on mission-critical, stable infrastructure
Designed with redundancy and performance in mind
Separating production and reporting databases

Compliance and Innovation Challenges (00:23:22)

Navigating state-by-state regulatory variations
Developing solutions like Metric Retail ID for product serialization
Potential time and cost savings for retailers

Payment and E-commerce Strategies (00:49:51)

Pushing towards more efficient online ordering
Improving average order value through e-commerce
Exploring payment solutions in different markets

Social Impact Initiative (00:42:23)

Launching Blaze Cares partnership with SickKids Hospital in Canada
Implementing donation roundup program for retailers

Is Cannabis Still a Generational Investment Opportunity? ft. Jesse Redmond

The Dime

10/24/24 • 63 min

Humbling... How many times have we thought catalysts were on the way, only to find out at the last minute it was just a pawn or a negotiation tactic?

The question remains for optimists like myself: Is the thesis still intact? Yes, but the timing was off. A hard lesson learned—never count on DC for simple, sound decisions on a reasonable timeline.

Let’s revisit the thesis.

Gone are the days of unicorns, but we’re now in a phase where challenges persist, and change could come quickly. Optimist Bryan is still holding on.

How do you balance emotional attachment with a clear perspective on the investment thesis, recognizing these businesses are moving in the right direction and poised to explode?

This week, we sat down with Jesse Redmond to revisit this thesis and explore exactly that.

Cannabis Investing: A Generational Opportunity?
Pick & Shovel Strategies vs. MSOs in Cannabis
Balancing Political Catalysts and Investment Approach

Topics Discussed:

Jesse's background and path into the cannabis industry (00:02:05)

The current state of the cannabis investment thesis and opportunities ahead (00:06:18)

The potential impact of catalysts like Florida going adult-use and Schedule 3 rescheduling (00:09:37)

The relationship and dynamics between the cannabis and hemp industries (00:18:57)

Strategies for investing in the cannabis space, including ETFs and specialized companies (00:22:03)

The importance of understanding the "why" behind being involved in the cannabis industry (00:59:55)

Jesse's predictions for the next 12 months in the cannabis market (01:04:14)

About Jesse Redmond is the Managing Director at Water Tower Research where I cover cannabis and natural products. Before this, I founded two hedge funds and a leading California cannabis collective. I began my career at Franklin Templeton, was an early employee of Fisher Investments, and spent a decade co-managing multiple hedge funds. In this role, I allocated more than $1 billion to hedge fund strategies and conducted more than 1,000 due diligence visits around the world.
In 2016, I founded a dispensary outside of Santa Barbara, California, that became number one in its region. In 2020, I founded Higher Calling Consulting, where he helped investors find the best cannabis investments. Through these experiences, I bring a unique perspective to the sectors I cover.
In addition to publishing written research, I'm the co-host of The Water Tower Hour and Higher Exchanges podcasts.
