Led by Nate Podrid

Serial Cannabis Entrepreneur & Land‑Use Strategist

For over 15 years, I’ve turned complex cannabis regulations into competitive advantage.

First for my own ventures (one of only three Michigan dispensaries licensed for day‑one recreational sales, the state’s first city‑approved consumption lounge, and multiple quick‑to‑market production facilities).

Then for MSOs, social‑equity licensees, municipalities, and investors across 13 states.

Strategic Process:

I identify and secure prime licensable sites through deep zoning and land‑use insight, structure creative contingent deals, and guide operations from permit to profit. When projects demand it, I tap trusted specialists for MEP design, advanced cultivation systems, or intricate land‑use negotiations.

Proven Track Record:

30 + facilities secured, developed, or optimized across 13 states, including multiple license wins in highly competitive markets | nine‑state SOP standardization for a national MSO | franchise playbook that cut launch timelines 10 % and costs 25 % | currently leading Maryland’s first 30 k sq ft social‑equity cultivation facility.
