Should You Create a Start-Up Or Join One?

Five factors to help determine whether you should start your own cannabis company-or become part of an existing one.

When deciding to enter the cannabis industry, you'll find that many factors will help guide your strategy and ultimately determine your success. One of the big questions to ask yourself: Do you want to create a start-up in a new market or enter an existing, already competitive marketplace.

I'm able to offer advice from both sides of the coin. In 2016, when Nevada legalized cannabis, I founded Solaris Farms—  technologically advanced hybrid greenhouses for cannabis cultivation. Solaris was a start-up company that I constructed on an empty lot of land in North Las Vegas, with nothing but my own private equity backing it. Today, I have built one of the largest private verticals in Nevada.

It is very clear to most cannabis industry analysts that the United States is the undisputed heavyweight in terms of cannabis, ringing in around $13 billion in annual sales pre-federal legalization. The opportunities are very strong in almost every individual state market, however, there is still a whole global cannabis industry developing – from South America to Europe.

I can’t speak to South America, but if you are a U.S. company and want to get in on the ground floor of the cannabis market in the European Union, your best strategy is to go build a facility on the continent. Keep in mind, there is a long road ahead before we see any sort of American legislation regarding exporting cannabis. We haven’t even gotten to legalizing it federally yet. So, if you cannot sell to them, join them.

American pot is the gold standard. But Canada leads the export game — for now.

Canada has emerged as the dominant exporter in the burgeoning global trade of marijuana

“The world wants that technology,” said Michael Sassano, CEO of Solaris Farms, the largest cannabis hybrid greenhouse in Nevada. “The Netherlands had a big jump; they could have done anything. But the U.S. is the one that turned the industry into what it is today, with all the products we make, not Canada.”

Cannabis Pros Sound Off On How Coronavirus Pandemic Will Affect Industry

It's an unprecedented public health crisis: The coronavirus pandemic has convulsed the lives of people both in the U.S. and globally, sending the markets reeling, ushering in a possible recession. How do top industry professionals feel it will affect their industry in the long term? Find out.

Michael Sassano, founder and CEO of Solaris Farms, a Las Vegas-based greenhouse for growing cannabis, is filtering the turmoil through a balanced lens, favoring the industry.  ”The medical and pharmaceutical industries will get a boost as governments around the world pour money into their archaic structures,” he said. “As a result, the cannabis industry will be a trickle-down beneficiary as regulations will be loosened and research money flows into all corners of medicine. Cannabis won’t stop a virus, but the ancillary benefits to the nervous system, cancer, and general well-being will not be able to be ignored anymore.”

European Union Urges Member Nations to Vote for World Health Organization’s Cannabis Rescheduling Recommendations

Michael Sassano, chairman of the board for Somai Pharmaceuticals, discusses the news and its impact on both the Ireland-based holding company and the broader international market.

The European Union (EU) is urging EU member nations to vote in favor of three World Health Organization (WHO) cannabis rescheduling recommendations ahead of the March session of the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND).

Should the recommendations ultimately gain approval, it would be a small, but positive step forward for international cannabis companies like Somai Pharmaceuticals, an Ireland-based holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the EU that cultivate and distribute cannabis products. (The company was previously known as Soma Pharmaceuticals.)
