What it Takes to Win Licenses, Cannabis Licensing in Newly Regulated States with Jason Klein and Avis Bulbulyan

Licensing has come a long way since a few intrepid states began issuing permits to grow, process and dispense cannabis.

Understanding the key differences between the types of licenses, markets, and processes is the first key to properly aligning your goals and resources with the right opportunity. Please join Avis Bulbulyan, CEO of SIVA Enterprises, for a discussion of how licenses can fit within your business model, the primary mistakes that most failed applicants make, and the foundational work that can set your application apart!
