Austin, Texas - GritDaily is in SXSW 2019! Our Managing Editor Stewart Rogers sits down with Redg Snodgrass, CEO / Co-Founder of Citizen Grown together with Alan Solow of Resolute Consulting and Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan as they discuss about their new company, CitizenGrown, that's launching in a month.
CitizenGrown is a San Francisco-based company that plans to create a network of residential cannabis farmers by providing them with grow systems and handling the sale of the flower.
CitizenGrown would supply each home with a 5Ă5 hydroponic automated grow system at no cost to the home owner. The company would then manage and monitor the tech-enabled grow systems. Once weed is ready for harvest, CitizenGrown will sell it to local dispensaries and split the revenue with the home grower (to the tune of $1,000 to $3,000 per month).
According to Snodgrass, the former CEO of Readwrite and Wearable World, the company initially raised a âfriends and family roundâ and just closed a seed round at the end of 2018. The formal launch of CitizenGrown is planned for April.
