Sorry the cannabis industry needs less large corporations taking money from us small farmers. I will always support the black market and small mom and pop growers.
Let the little guy enjoy the ☀️ 🌲 cannabis you became a beast and they didn't see it . I hear 25 billion I want in. Need recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania
Large corporations are great. I'd much rather buy from a dealer than some loser druggy on a street corner that over charges me and is late 90% of the time
@@kangaroomax8198they are referring to legacy people who kept the industry alive for the last like 60+ years. Not some druggy on a corner maybe learn a bit about the cannabis industry before making comments like that. These guys are fine but they wouldn’t have their business if there wasn’t legacy people in the industry.
They’re a logistics and delivery company for cannabis, they don’t grow the weeds. Having a platform and reliable distribution are good for small companies
Soooo basically a "legal" silkroad with control over the distribution channels (amazon model) rather than using the US mail. Did I miss anything ? It looks like a glorified cannabis dropshipping company with custom software to make it a startup. Please correct me if I am wrong.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel to make a successful company; they saw a problem with a straightforward solution and capitalized on it. Please correct me if I am wrong.
How did they get a bank to work with them in the first place? Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the no federal insurance for banks who deal with cannabis companies no ne will do it?@@adohsh5425
No, they are a logistics and a SAAS company. "Dropshipping" btw they said they fulfill retail meaning they deliver products to recreational dispensaries. Drop shipping is when a small retailer (that typically sells in small quantities to the general public) receives a single large order for a product. These guys are the movers, not the retailer or the supplier.
1:53 I believe most people feel that way about their abilities and the lack of utility of them in their role. But most don't take action to move into a situation where they are best used.
Engineers have no idea how to sell products. They are generally really bad at running businesses and generally lack the creative fluidity that entails b2b, b2c sales funnels, and marketing.
Hell no.. lmao! They are in 1 state and probably just southern area. You can see their revenue last year was 10.9mil. They may not even be profitable yet. You can find that out if you care.. In Orange County alone people spent 157mill on weed.. so this is clickbait video. I will never remember these guys.. they ain’t no business geniuses. It’s all timing..
Thanks you so much for sharing your achievement of your dream. You have a very good mindset of creating company, you give me a courage to in approved my achievement sir.
2:08 seeing what waves are out there, then surfing the wave. 3:18- 3:31found out a problem, figured it was a big enough problem to solve in this specific market
I know right..lol. The title of this making them look stupid too. I would NOT let that slide…shows some egos may be at play and that’s a RED FLAG to me if I was an investor.
Good, mass produced Cannabis is scur on the Cannabis industry and will ultimately ruin the true forms of this precious medicine. I don't think helping it's propagation by these type of people who self-admittedly doesn't know the culture and obviously doesn't understand the medicine. But hey, you will get your foie gras factory pumped 7 weeks varieties very efficiently so BIG PHARMA can totally control it.
the vast majority of weed in california isnt "legal" these guys dont have as big as a market share as people think and its not sustainable if weed laws in California are changed. Its not possible to grow quality weed and get it to customers at scale so legal weed in cali is dry garbage thats barely worth smoking. I dont think these guys are really legit this sounds like some business smoke and mirrors shit and no wonder why the weed is shit they have it sitting in boxes on shelf's in a warehouse. They dont even seem to understand their own industry.
Maybe if you did a little more research than just 1 google search you would find out that those numbers are from 2021 and in 2023 they are now rank 1340 on inc. 5000. for fastest growing companies 😅
Is he allowed to enter SKorea? I believe korean citizens are sent to jail even though they participated in cannabis activity overseas. Our man is basically the top dog of distribution of weed. That sounds like a lot of legal work to work around if he plans to enter korea any time soon..
I started selling herb at 12 and growing at 15. I've spent decades in the business. When it comes to cultivation, apart from the few dready dudes I've met in the hills, I rarely came across any Black cultivators. I have met loads of Latinos, Hmong, Chinese, Bulgarians, Europeans, and lots of other growers of different backgrounds. Have definitely worked with lots of Black Cannabis enthusiasts, just very few who were producers.
Funniest part is when Jun states "It takes 10 years to build a great company" Uh ... really? Read Jim Collins books, Great by Choice, & Good to Great. Of the tens of thousands companies his team analyzed, less than 25 ever achieved greatness. Just thinking, if you guys do that in 10 years that would be something no one else has done.. Of course, there's a first time for everything. But maybe if you truly are interested in building a great company, which is entirely different than an exit, you may want to expand your horizon by a few decades.
That’s a fair point Darren! I think I was quoting a commonly used YC mantra that it takes “at least” 10 years to build a great business. What I mean to convey is that it takes a long time to building something great, and 10 years was more of a figure of speech to indicate some significant amount of time. I thought it was an important point to get across so people don’t view these stories as another case of “overnight success.” Looking forward to meeting you face to face sometime soon 🙂
These people are no different than drug dealers. You can claim that it's all legal. But these people profit from a drug gateway substance. You think weed doesn't lead to other crap? It does.
@@elijahgtpif we weren't " meant" to consume cannabis.......then let me ask you a legit question....why would God or whom you MIGHT pray design the human body with an endocannabinoid system??????? Take allllll the time you need to answer.😊
They are the supply company, not the growers, not the sellers. It's logistics and data, and for you to make such a company you need some engineering knowledge otherwise it will fail, or you have to have money and invest or outsource the tech
I want to see canines reclassified and stop paying 70% earnings to the government in the form of taxation, permitting fees, etc…you think they government will give up on that cash cow…lol…I guess we wait and see
The stigma of cannabis consumption is still there given the fact that you guys can't find stock footage of said consumption to include in this video. 😂
I thought legalization of cannabis was solely for the less fortunate, to have two engineers running a company seem to defeat the purposes. I think California has it wrong. It should be two individuals from underserve community now taking weed to the public instead of the shady street corner. Shameful Cali.
any object can become the center of cooperate greed if it has value huh? people like this would just as quickly farm moong dal as they would cannabis if it was lucrative enough. no one has pride or even interest in their own products these days, disgusting.
You guys solved no real problem and would be the last people I would get behind and support! Know your place and find something else to do. U may find down the line you end up with nothing but a bumpy ride and a pocket full of memories! We need legacy operators first and for most.
No bank will touch them in the US. This industry is also on a massive decline because inventories are way oversaturated because it is a very easy crop to grow, legalization is bad for businesses like this because it has low barrier to entry, no moat and people can just grow their own. Canadian companies got slaughtered after full legalization because of this and the US will be the same. Their best bet will be to sell off the company to big tobacco who will steamroll the industry upon legalization.
exactly, the government not only knew that there was going to be a lot of potential but they also knew if they didnt throttle the market it would flood itself and become stagnant. like you said it already happened in places like Canada and even happened on a smaller scale in the state of Oregon a year after they legalized. If I was the government i would let the market snuff itself out until my best friend Monsanto is ready to take over and patent everything. its sad to see pure greed destroying what could have been a good thing, and its never a cannabis user who ruins its the straight edge Harvard graduates who need to ruin a perfectly good market.
Weed can also activate someone's Schizofrenia without them even knowimg they have it. That also makes them discover a part of their brain they didn't know they had. But, Hey! Nobody wants to associate weed with bad things 😂
As a pothead you have to be stupid not to notice something happening in your own body. CHS and predisposed diseases like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia can develop after regular cannabis use thank you captain obvious. The objective term there was predisposed, if its not overuse of cannabis any trauma can stimulate a disease that resides in your genetics rather than in the chemistry of the plant itself. its not a bad plant never has been, just because some people have abused and others have adverse reactions to its habitual usage doesn't mean we should negate its healing powers, therapeutic uses, and over all societal disposition as a source of recreation.

Wild.. I went to Middle school with Vincent and sat next to him in Band Class. Congrats on the success Vincent.
A Chinese dude and a Korean dude running the weed block is wild to me
🤣😂
Well the Chinese was the first record history for medicine use. The Korean have Chinese blood.
High IQ + industriousness => win
No wild really..it's making money.
It's Harold n Kumar all over again 😮😮

As long as they don't have to work on anything they engineered.

main takeaway
1:53 I believe most people feel that way about their abilities and the lack of utility of them in their role. But most don't take action to move into a situation where they are best used.
Engineers will dominate the world
Engineers already are. So much of the luxuries of the modern world are designed/built by engineers.
…from Europe and Japan.
Fun fact: 30% of Fortune 500’s CEOs have a engineering degree😅
Engineers have no idea how to sell products. They are generally really bad at running businesses and generally lack the creative fluidity that entails b2b, b2c sales funnels, and marketing.
@@williamvn2928 And look - none of them are using it.
they're Amazon for weed right? Just want to make sure I'm understanding

14 years in the cannabis business, multiple licensed operations. Never heard of this company or these guys lol
It’s all smoke and mirrors. California economy is struggling.
I know right..lol. The title of this making them look stupid too. I would NOT let that slide…shows some egos may be at play and that’s a RED FLAG to me if I was an investor.
I also have 14-15 years in the cannabis industry and have never heard of these guys.

You don't have to be from a particular background to dominate. You just have to be Asian
How do they not get raided compared to other situations? This is going to be an even worse monopoly after de-scheduling.

Korean solving a problem with a substance that is completely forbidden and illegal in Korea.
They have big money behind them they are smart guys but how much ownership do they have.
Who sells the stuff here? Let’s connect and make some sales.
Crazy a weed mogul is Korean xD
Very true lol
Let’s get this straight, this company ain’t dominating anything with a measly 10.9 mil in REVENUE in 2023. AND the market is redhot..
Maybe if you did a little more research than just 1 google search you would find out that those numbers are from 2021 and in 2023 they are now rank 1340 on inc. 5000. for fastest growing companies 😅
wheres ur company with 10.9m rev?
My dream ❤
Is he allowed to enter SKorea? I believe korean citizens are sent to jail even though they participated in cannabis activity overseas. Our man is basically the top dog of distribution of weed. That sounds like a lot of legal work to work around if he plans to enter korea any time soon..
Just be a Harvard engineer bro, so easy for everyone else.

nice, what if ai make a trypophobic museum, would anyone go and see it there?
After millions of Black Men in jail for weed
Man studied applied math (hard as fuck) and comp science at once. Wtf
Somebody’s gotta do it
no, you can literally just grow your own and say fuck cooperate greed.
That black americans are not dominating this industry is a seriously missed opportunity. I mean how?

Be out of business if Amazon starts doing it
not a problem worth solving
nothing is worth solving if there's money in it
you run 20% of the legal market you claim its a 20B market yet you claim only 1bil sold PHONY plus you company is very low rated
Too much talking
Creating a company to sell the company and eventually it’ll go out of business like the rest of the companies here
its just more cooperate greed which never helped anyone.
If you over 25 and your weed isn’t coming in a ziplock bag congratulations you played yourself
I prefer turkey bags
This is the type of guy that thinks he’s better than others. Imma sell it to them but I don’t consume it myself. Chinese -.-
I personally don't think cannabis unavailability to addicts is a problem worth solving. Addicts are basically wasting their money and time for addiction. So I may admire business strategy of above 2 engineers, but I feel that making Canabbis access easy for people is just not good for society.
Agreed. They are just glorifying drug dealers.
meh who cares, make that bread.
i’d do what they’re doing too if i could make 8-9figs
would be bad decision to pass it up
Cannabis isn't addictive if used responsibility.
Making alcohol accessible to people isn't good for society or health and also Tobacco companies. Please add guns to the list too.
The oldest traditional methods for growing and cultivating cannabis still can be the most efficient, well yielding and super high-quality product. Considering the super strains of decades ago, it seems the old techniques have become a lost art.
