My social media accounts right now... I see more and more of our team at @GetNabis requesting access to Claude Code as well. #claude #claudecode #ai

Fate loves irony. What's your war story from your busiest season? 👇 Here's mine: 4/20/2021. $30M investor pulled out with 1 month of runway. Grandfather passed. Relationship ended. Woke up with hives every morning. All while moving warehouses and fulfilling $100M+ in cannabis orders. We survived. Barely. Pressure is the price of building something great. Oh, and the hotel put me in Room 420. 🪃

(3/10) A few of our favorite under-the-radar opps from fast-growing companies (2/3)👇 - @vcning from @getnabis is hiring across sales & ops. - @vanlancker from @terraincap is hiring a director of production. - @AliKAfridi from @EqualVentures is hiring an investment analyst.

🤖🌿 How does everyone apply AI to their work across the cannabis supply chain? What other similar industries could the same tools apply to or can we borrow ideas from? We use it to predict trends, optimize internal workflows, and help with regulatory work. Curious what other creative use cases there are! #cannabis #ai

Last week our co-founders and COO joined @Arrington_Cap Founders Retreat in Miami. Huge credit to @KeliCallaghan for bringing together such a strong group of builders and investors. We left Miami more focused than ever on what we are building. Symphony is cooking.

Most cannabis operators underestimate self-distribution costs. Fully loaded? It could eat the vast majority of costs when you factor: • Technology • Cash handling • Insurance • Compliance payroll • Inventory carrying cost Cannabis isn’t inefficient. It’s structurally burdened.

~30% of licensed NY dispensaries almost closed. The law said dispensaries must be a certain distance from schools and houses of worship. The ambiguity was around whether or not we should measure to/from the door of the facility or the property line. In cannabis, inches can cost millions. Kudos to the industry and state for fixing this after several months of uncertainty in a newly legalized market that's only ~2 years old! #CannabisIndustry #CannabisPolicy #NYCannabis #Cannabis

The most useful conversations cut through the noise. At a recent NYC event, @GetNabis COO Will Brophy shared a clear-eyed view of what’s actually changing in the cannabis business, from regulation and access to capital to New York’s future market. Worth watching - bit.ly/4qoGwUU

I've been building @GetNabis (nabis.com) for 8 years now. We're the largest licensed cannabis wholesale marketplace, distributing $1B+ per year. You might like what we're building, and interested if there's a way to get you involved given I've been enjoying your content lately!

This is one of the most underrated observations in tech right now. if AI commoditizes software, what's actually safe? - regulated and liability-bearing businesses (someone has to be on the hook) - anything touching the physical world (hardware, manufacturing, energy) - proprietary data sets (AI makes your data more valuable, not less) - marketplaces and businesses with network effects (liquidity > software) - operationally intense businesses (the "bad" businesses become the best ones) - cybersecurity and physical security (more AI = more attack surface)

Congrats to Nabis: Wholesale Platform Opens Largest Dedicated Cannabis Distribution Facility in California. Congrats to Vince and Jun for expanding to the Central Valley and employing 140 people just in the facility. Two more mega stores to come! #ribboncuttting

Congratulations to the 2023 YC Top Companies! There are now 16 public YC companies, 290 private YC companies and 33 exits that are valued at over $150M, and over 80 that are worth more than $1B. ycombinator.com/topcompanies

Young people are so eager to join the cannabis industry that one of my angel portfolio companies in the space which does delivery logistics has multiple Harvard-educated drivers 😂😂

Pattern I've noticed in very impactful people: Spend ~1 year exploring broadly, ~4 years relentless focus executing on the most interesting direction, repeat.
