    Cannabis - Infrastructure and Support Services

    The problem that I see in Canada is a lot of the production and distribution are all being given to big business right out of the gate. The taxation plan also forces the commoditization of the product in order to be competitive with an already mature black market. Entrepreneurs are being...

    My progress: creating a product

    EXECUTION 
    @Morethan1 Haven't seen you since the Summit but we need to catch up again. I'm trying to get something going in California. It's early and I'm not sure if there's a fit, but it's probably worth talking at some point.

    Happy Black Friday! (How was yours as a producer?!)

    We're still trying to crack the US market with our product. I'm going to be looking for pointers from people at the Summit... hint hint... We're also waiting for a resupply on some inventory so we only have limited products right now, but it's been a good 2 days so far. We're on a 20:1 ROAS.

    Scaling a handmade item business

    I recommend that you build it, sort out low volume manufacturing, get some sales to prove the market exists, file a provisional patent. Then keep selling as you start shopping it around. No one will look at you without sales (unless you have a proven past and the product sells itself). For now...

    Scaling a handmade item business

    Once you have a business... particularly one with a lower barrier to entry... you'll realize that you need to differentiate yourself from potential competitors. 90% of the time you can't change the barriers to entry, so you have to add more value in some way. Copycats will follow but you will...

    Created perfect prototype, need to find manufacturer...

    Yup! We currently work with a local college that retrains new immigrants and at-risk youth for jobs in the fashion industry. They're partly funded by government grants and act as a not for profit incubator for those starting their own label. They help them obtain reasonable piecework rates until...

    Finding a partner

    I echo what people here are already telling you. A partner won't help you. Partnerships are hard; harder than doing it alone. I know, I've done both. If you can't execute now, why would a partner want to go into business with you? You're like dead weight. Nobody needs dead weight. And no one...

    I'd recommend creating a handful of real products to test with rather than mock ups. There's a lot your can't determine from a render. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Many (of the bigger ones) here do. They're a one stop shop. They laser cut the material rather than cutting by hand with printed templates. So they can create different nesting patterns in the fly depending on the quantities and styles/sizes you want. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    HOT! 
    I'm manufacturing a product with a fabric component already. Look for a company that does contract cutting and contract sewing. If you have a local fashion district, start there. Knock on doors and talk to people. They'll help you to refine your design to make manufacturing easier and less...
