Cannabis Startup Meadow Unveils A Platform For Dispensaries To Manage Orders, Patient Intake

With California on a precipice of a ballot initiative next year that could legalize marijuana recreationally, scores of cannabis startups are vying to capture what is the nation’s largest market in advance of such a big regulatory change.

Meadow, a Y Combinator-backed startup, was one of the earlier ones with an ordering and delivery service for medicinal users that started about a year ago. While they have had a direct-to-consumer product for awhile, they’re now launching a more enterprise-focused product with Platform, a software suite for medical dispensaries to handle online and mobile ordering, delivery logistics, patient intake, and legal compliance.

“All of these pieces are going to be connected in what becomes a seed-to-sale platform for marijuana that is home-grown in California and delivered by dispensaries for patients in California,” said CEO David Hua.

Hua compared Meadow’s model to being a “Grubhub for cannabis.” Instead of owning and packaging the entire product from end-to-end, the company partners with dispensaries.

“With cannabis, you can be the king or a kingmaker,” said Hua, who added he prefers to be the latter. “There’s no way that any of the companies we partner with have the skills to build this technology. It’s really expensive.”

On platform, dispensaries can manage all of their products, orders and members and pull up analytics on how well sales are performing. They can see how many patients are joining, the top-selling products and they can toggle between data for different days or months of the year.

They can track individual products like edibles or certain varietals of marijuana to see how well they’re selling and manage their pricing.

It’s a Saas platform where dispensaries pay per month on the basis of how many customers they have. It’s a sliding scale. The company powers San Francisco dispensaries from The Apothecarium, BASA and SPARC.

That stream of revenue comes in addition to the roughly 10 percent cut the company takes out of any direct-to-consumer sales the website or mobile app facilitates on behalf of dispensaries.

Reasons to choose Pro for this year's iPhone: iPhone 13/13 mini review

バッテリーは高評価、でもそれくらい、と。今年もまた悩ましい季節がやってきました。iPhoneにProができてからというもの、Proでベスト中のベストを手に入れるか、Proじゃないほうで足るを知るか、っていう迷いポイントが加わりましたよね。でも、今回iPhone 13/13 miniをレビューした米GizmodoのCaitlin McGarry記者は、iPhone 13を買うくらいならiPhone 13 Proに! またはiPhone 14を待って!と言ってます。その理由は以下、レビューでご確認ください。去年のiPhone 12はiPhone 11からの有意義なアップグレードで、799ドル(日本国内価格8万6800円)〜という価格以上のプレミアム感がありました。iPhone 12 miniに関しては、自分みたいに手の小さい人にはベストなサイズとは思いつつ、(特に5Gを使うと)バッテリーライフが短すぎて、そこまで心が動かなかったんですけどね。で、今年のiPhone 13のラインナップは、まずiPhone 13 miniのバッテリーライフが大幅増強されたのは良かったんですが、iPhone 13 Proがフラッグシップのハードルを上げちゃって、ProじゃないiPhone 13は大して進化してないように見えます。たしかにバッテリーは、iPhone 11以前はもちろんiPhone 12と比べても増強されたんですが、それがなければ今回はパスしたほうがいいと思います。ただバッテリーは、これだけでも買い替え理由になるくらい長くなってます。Apple iPhone 13/13 miniImage: Caitlin McGarry – Gizmodo USこれは何?:Apple(アップル)のお求めやすいほうのフラッグシップiPhone価格:iPhone 13が799ドル(9万8800円)〜、iPhone 13 miniが699ドル(8万6800円)〜好きなところ:増強されたバッテリーライフ、暗い環境での写真がちょっと改善、超高速プロセッサー、2倍になったベースのストレージ好きじゃないところ:超広角レンズはもういいかなって感じバッテリーが本気のアップグレードなんといってもProじゃないほうのiPhone 13最大のポイントは、みんなにとって不可欠なバッテリーライフの向上です。去年のiPhone 12でも動画再生テストで14時間20分と十分な長さでしたが、iPhone 12 miniは11時間20分しか持たず、実際使っていても夕方充電が必要になることがときどきありました。スマホにとって丸1日持たないのは重罪なので、アップルはかなり悔い改めたんでしょうね。iPhone 13/13 miniはそれぞれバッテリーが増えて、iPhone 13は17時間近い驚異の長さ、iPhone 13 miniも13時間42分と去年より2時間半近く伸ばしてきました。この2時間半の違いのおかげで、充電ケーブルとか外付けバッテリーを持ち歩くという、小さいスマホ特有の罰ゲーム感がなくなりました。ちなみにiPhone 13 ProのバッテリーはiPhone 13と同等ですが、iPhone 13 Pro Maxは圧倒的な19時間30分持ち、フル充電1回で2日半持ったという逸話もあります。ただサイズが大きすぎるので、みんなに勧められるってものじゃないですね。で、やっぱりカメラの話iPhone 13(右)とiPhone 13 mini(左)はデュアルレンズ、今回は斜めに並んでますImage: Caitlin McGarry – Gizmodo USiPhone…

Do You Know The Meaning Of These 5 Famous Car Badges?

When you look at a car and see the word "TURBO" on it in giant font, that doesn't leave too much to the imagination. It's very obviously turbocharged.
