Cannabis License Application Win

By /

The Missouri cannabis industry is fast evolving with the first set of cannabis licenses awarded in January 2020.  With more than 2200 cannabis license applications for only 338 available cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensary licenses in the state, the competition was particularly fierce.

Catalyst BC is pleased to announce our partner CannaVer, LLC has been awarded three Infused Product Manufacturing Licenses by The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.  Winning a merit-based cannabis license application is a critical step, but the work has only just begun.  “We are excited to be part of the CannaVer, LLC team as they move from application to execution,” said Catalyst BC Co-Founder, Leif Olsen.

Catalyst BC enables partners to move efficiently from planning to the finished product. Our dynamic portfolio of market-proven cannabis and hemp genetics, combined with our science-backed agriculture and extraction practices, are invaluable to our partners with and seeking a license, as well as those partners looking to get an existing license operational.

The experienced team at Catalyst BC can help clients with efficient and sustainable facility designs and streamlined operations for cultivation and manufacturing, while ensuring compliance with state regulations. We collaborate with our partners to create a safe, secure, and welcoming dispensary experience with a focus on education, excitement, and customer service.
