Beuhi Built a Home Candy Factory for the Edibles Generation
A New Jersey team wants a machine that presses out infused gummies, chocolates, and hard candies - your botanicals, your dose, about forty minutes - in every kitchen. Here is the pitch, and where it gets complicated.
Garden Society
Garden Society is a Cloverdale, California craft cannabis company founded in 2016 by Erin Gore and Karli Warner, built to redefine cannabis for women. A certified Benefit Corporation, it makes wine-country-inspired edibles - artisanal chocolates, gelees and gummies - alongside sun-grown pre-roll Rosettes, and sells across California and select multi-state markets. The company raised a $7 million Series A in January 2022 to scale manufacturing and expand nationally.
NorCal Cannabis Company
NorCal Cannabis Company is a vertically integrated, seed-to-sale cannabis operator based in Northern California. Founded in 2014, it grew out of the region's long, pre-legalization cannabis culture into a licensed holding company spanning cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, a portfolio of consumer brands, and retail dispensaries. The company scaled revenue from roughly $2M to over $70M in a few years and raised more than $50M in capital, positioning itself as one of California's more compliant, operationally mature cannabis businesses.
NUG
NUG is a vertically integrated California cannabis company founded in 2014 that operates the state's highest-volume extraction facility, multiple retail dispensaries, and one of California's largest wholesale distribution networks. Known for their premium flower, vapes, and edibles, NUG has pioneered Oakland's first equity-owned consumption lounge and is deeply committed to social equity programs that support entrepreneurs affected by prior cannabis criminalization.
