Weedguide also employs the help of real world subject matter experts to ensure only the the most useful and relevant content is displayed.
Created by search experts and cannabusiness professionals, Weedguide’s founders recognized a need to cut through the fragmentation and disorganization plaguing the industry. Weedguide is led by 20-year technologist and entrepreneur Claudio Cañive. The Weedguide team brings years of experience in media, marketing, entertainment and healthcare companies; having advised and co-invented numerous patents and won awards in the enterprise search and content management industries.
