Growing Talent, a cannabis technology company, is raising funds on Republic. The company has a valuation cap of $3.75 million and is focused on developing minority talent. It plans to establish Black-owned cannabis retail stores all across the country. The Good Tree dispensaries will be backed by a state-of-the-art operating system and will also be minority-led. Growing Talent was founded by Rashaan Everett, Carl Ganz, and Dr. Eric Patrick in 2019. The proceeds of the current crowdfunding round, with a minimum target of $25,000 and a maximum target of $1,070,000, will be used for marketing, replication of software of new dispensaries, build-out of online curriculum, on-the-job training, and new hires. Growing Talent has seven cannabis licenses and has already generated over $3.5 million in sales.
