”Get Good Feels” in the Cannabis Category with Jason Reposa, CEO, Good Feels

I welcome in Jason Reposa, CEO of Good Feels, a cannabis beverage brand. Jason is my first founder in this category, so he gets peppered with a round of questions from me, a novice. There were so many questions that I wanted to ask, but didn't have time, so stay tuned for a live stream on Linkedin in the coming weeks.

 

Cannabis regulation, so why work in this category?

High risk ~ high reward

The big moat around your product

RTD Seltzer 4 flavors +1 seasonal – treat it like a brewery.

You can infuse anything that is water-based

Customer base – wellness-focused consumers: sleep, pain management, or anxiety aliments

Brokerage/distribution model – self-distribution – now a new business opportunity

Sample strategy - pop-ups with un-infused beverage

Investor environment

Seat-to-sale tracking – Metrc tracks everything – seed to sale

No data insights
