Accelerant

Facial recognition and the imaginary "CSI Enhance" would show a literal 'who's who' of #Cannabis leadership at Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conference. Thank you Benzinga Cannabis for bringing so many heavy hitters together and the chance to brainstorm in real-time about pre-roll machines and manufacturing automation. If we missed a chance to meet in Chicago feel free to connect directly James M. Pavoldi Alan Ellman Grant Schuster Jacob Dooley

Let's meet up today at Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conference and chat about the future of the #cannabis #preroll business and using the"PaaS" model for #automation and the ability to meet demand and quickly scale #manufacturing capacity with No CapEx. https://lnkd.in/eCCE7nwx

James M. Pavoldi (@prerollgenius) and the “pre-roll machine” team are at @RevelryNY right now with Lucas Kerr from Torrwood Farm where they’ll be launching the new “Spliff” and “Dash” pre-rolls in Torrwood’s wholesale catalog. After meeting in Las Vegas where Jim was tasked with ‘betting on the right horse for their pre-roll automation partnerships’, Jim came back with 1 sentence: “I’d trust this guy with my kids”. I’d take it a step further and say we'd trust him to get the kids out of a war zone. (Lucas is a former US Army Ranger Captain and Combat Veteran) and the farm has been in his family since they settled the territory 7 generations ago, assuring his commitment to its success and reputation. The "PRO" ("Pre-Roll Operator") pre-roll machine was conceived by CEO Grant Schuster, who left the herb and spice industry to help manage a $40MM manufacturing turnaround for a cannabis MSO, where he immediately saw the opportunity for automation in the pre-roll manufacturing space. With entrepreneur Alan Ellman’s architecture of the “PaaS” (Production-as-a-Service) concept, he and “Billion Bullet Bob” (My pneumonic for him when we first met in Missouri based on his experience manufacturing ammo at scale), built the first pre-roll machine that they they could deploy as a ‘throughput-only service’ charging only? for the pre-rolls produced, instead of trying to sell it as a million-dollar system... No stranger to hyper-growth, Jim is focused on converting 100 seasoned CFO’s to the No CapEX PaaS model. With a “find gold together or eat our mules” attitude that focus is paying off having converted 52 already. Not an easy task, as sometimes ‘seasoned’ is synonymous with ‘ornery’ but some of those CFO's that literally told him “we’ll never do this” have since become Accelerant’s most aggressive partners as they scale with machines in multiple facilities and with single operators running 2-3 machines simultaneously (Accelerant pre-roll machines can make between 1,500 and 3,000 pre-rolls per hour).. With a recent [redacted]-figure capital raise completed with lightning speed (all from an email sent on the 4th of July!), the crew is poised to increase production of new #prerollmachines and help even more #cannabis #cultivators and #processors elevate their #preroll game to meet demand at scale with proven and consistent product quality. The team has doubled the size of it’s manufacturing facility in Maryland and brought in Sean Dotson as CTO, Kevin Fernandes as CFO, with even more growth planned for the engineering and success teams that have also recently doubled in size. Ping Jim at [email protected] to meet the team at Revelry today, join us at Benzinga's Cannabis Capital Conference, or catch up EOM at NECANN Syracuse.

There's a lot of opportunity to meet the team and really get in the weeds with their expertise on the intricacies of #automation in #preroll #manufacturing at scale. Here are just a few of the #cannabis #events we'll be at this month; feel free to leave a comment if you want to catch up! October 4th & 5th We'll be at RevelryNY's buyers club and cannabis festival by @ontherevel October 8th & 9th We'll have the entire crew at?Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference by Benzinga Cannabis October 25th & 26th NECANN NY at the Syracuse Fairgrounds' Center for Innovation by NECANN Ping James M. Pavoldi if you want to meet him to discuss pre-roll automation or partnerships or just get an assist to find out who on the team might be the best audience for you depending on your questions / ideas and I'll try to coordinate for the shows to meet with Alan Ellman, Grant Schuster, Jacob Dooley, Kevin Fernandes or Sean Dotson, PE
