“What does it look like when a pre-Series A startup is on newsstands in three national industry magazines at the same time? ”
Congrats to the young diverse team at Drop Delivery which Marijuana Venture calls in its cover story "The future of delivery".
Marijuana Venture writes: “After revolutionizing delivery tech in 2020, Drop Delivery is empowering businesses with even more customizable features to improve efficiency and increase sales.”
Women & Weed calls CEO Vanessa Gabriel “the delivery diva”.
Cannabis & Tech Today says Drop’s on a mission to help retailers optimize their day-to-day operations and delivery services with cutting-edge technology for a monthly subscription fee. That’s the SaaS model.
Why am I writing about Drop?
If you missed it, I’ve been pleased to be bringing my experience to Drop as their chief operating officer since last November!
The tech + cannabis industry space is having a particular moment, as legalization spreads to more states and during the pandemic “cannabis has become an essential household item.” California, which began adult-use sales in 2018, saw consumers rise to 45% of all adults in the first half of 2021 according to BDSA’s business intelligence and market share tracking. Consumption is on the rise across the nation.
“Cannabis has become an essential household item. Consumerism has exploded. Delivery is the future.”
…and the news does not stop.
Yesterday, Drop won the Poseidon Asset Management Green Shoots Pitch Forum, a special event that connects top-performing cannabis companies across all verticals (licensed and ancillary), with accredited investors. It’s organized by Poseidon, a first mover in the cannabis investment space named Top Hedge Fund Q3 2020 by Barclay Hedge. Winning sends Vanessa to pitch to investors on stage during MJUnpacked in Las Vegas in October, an industry conference for brands, retail executives, and investors.
