Episode Overview
John Prentice started out his company at his dining room table with nothing but his personal savings to back him. 4 years later he has completely shaken up both the tech and the cannabis industries with his seed-to-sale software, Ample Organics.
“In the cannabis industry you’re surrounded by disco balls of opportunity flashing all around you and you can only do a little bit. Pick your opportunities well, stick to them, and don’t give up on them too soon.”
Ample Organics serves the majority of Canada’s licensed cannabis producers by making compliance, transparency, and traceability easier. It is not only a very useful service for people within the industry but a great example of a company on the forefront of innovation in the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to John about why he chose to build a platform in the cannabis industry, and what the future of marijuana in Canada means for his company.
