For decades, cannabis deals were steeped in secrecy and trust was a rare commodity. Family farmers and indoor cultivators quietly went about their business of creating craft cannabis and didn’t talk to strangers about their grows. After all, during cannabis prohibition, one wrong word to an undercover police officer or DEA agent could mean years in jail. Thankfully, medicinal cannabis is legal in more than 30 states, 3 U.S. territories and Washington, D.C. Adult-use cannabis is legal in 11 states with more on the way. And while attitudes about cannabis are clearly changing around the world, the underground, cautious culture of growers and sellers have been harder to change. Until now.
A Virtual Farmer’s Market for Cannabis
Knowleaf is a company founded on trust, transparency, and security. Our mission is to open up the cannabis supply chain providing new opportunities for cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, brands, and dispensaries alike. On the business side, Knowleaf is a curated B2B marketplace for cannabis suppliers. Culturally, we value our relationships the same way we do with vendors at our local farmer’s market. When you get to know someone and trust their products, you come to rely on them knowing you’ll get what you paid for with every purchase.
Knowleaf is bringing traditional farmer’s market values to the modern cannabis community by connecting and supporting all aspects of it. Co-Founder Tedd Bernard put it this way. “We want to know the stories of the people behind the brands and shine a spotlight on the trailblazers in the cannabis industry. Our goal is to create a safe environment so that people who once worked in the shadows can feel comfortable out in the open.”
These are the people who are joining Knowleaf’s seed to sale marketplace. Our unique online platform provides access to real-time cannabis product inventory, data, and options for your cannabis supply chain. We make it easy to locate vetted sources and potential customers of cannabis products and services. We have information on more than 43,000 licensed cannabis and 12,000 licensed hemp operations across 41 states and 14 international markets, including Canada. User-friendly tools and features streamline your workflows making new relationships fast and easy.
Trust, Verified
Knowleaf is selective about who we allow on the platform and only licensed, wholesale suppliers may join. This way, everyone can feel at ease about the deals they make within our community. Cultivators can professionally position their flower to attract new customers. Manufacturers can find farmers, dispensaries and anyone in between to create products. Distribution partners can find new channels to move their partner’s products. Brands can explore relationships to buy, sell, manufacture and distribute. Dispensaries are better positioned to discover products from cultivators, brands, and manufacturers to fill their valuable shelf space. According to Tedd, “The cannabis industry is in a very interesting place right now. Communication is fragmented and there’s no true efficiency. There are so many brokers and fluctuating prices across the board. At Knowleaf, we’re positioned to change that, to be the place that brings all cannabis suppliers together.”
