The Really Really High Tech Hackathon

NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS SOLD OUT


The increasing legalization of the cannabis industry has already ignited a revolution across all facets of the budding industry, but roadblocks and growing pains remain. From cash-only transactions to strain selection and treatment management, down to how patients acquire safe medication, there is high demand for innovative solutions.


Who should attend? Anyone who is interested in cannabis and technology, preferably combined 😉. We welcome developers, designers and entrepreneurs of all levels and skill-sets to hack. All are welcome, as long as you're passionate and willing to have some fun innovating! 


Join High NY & AngelHack at Meadow HQ in San Francisco for a hackathon around all things cannabis tech!


Note: The venue has limited capacity. If reached we may have to turn folks away even if a ticket has been acquired. If you have a ticket and can no longer attend please let us know so we can free up your spot. 

🍁 THE CHALLENGE 🍁

We’re inviting the Bay Area’s best developers, designers and entrepreneurs to build web and mobile apps that create solutions for the numerous issues and barriers currently facing the legal cannabis industry.

GRAND PRIZE

Startup Bootcamp at Gateway

 

The winning team will be invited to participate in Gateway’s Startup Bootcamp. An intensive day-long session where we turn your ‘hack’ into the next great cannabis startup. Spend the day at Gateway HQ with the founding team as we dive into your idea, validate your product, establish your brand foundation, and map-out your company’s growth strategy. 

 

 

Flow Kana's Cannabis Institute Tour

 

The Flow Cannabis Institute (FCI) recently purchased 80 acres in Mendocino County, which was formerly a winery, and is creating a hub for cannabis growers, education, and fun, calling it the “World’s First Cannabis Campus", bringing all pieces of the supply chain together under one roof.

 

Winners will get to tour FCI and learn about the process of bringing Cannabis to market, have a drink or smoke at the 'Big Dog Saloon' tasting room, and experience a farm tour led by one of Flow Kana's favorite Cannabis farmers.
