Thank you for mentioning IP! I haven't double checked that for a while so it's now on the front of my radar. Thankfully though IP capital isn't something I'm banking on... as far as I know.

In RE VC: Unfortunately not. I've met one person who owns a full scale dispensary + retail outlet and seemed cool but we didn't have that kind of introduction. It did seem like he'd be a business contact in the future, though.

Understandable about the IP, mostly my thought being if you don't have IP, I wouldn't publish the work and let someone come and steal your plan.

You can figure out who you would like to get investment from and just call a couple places tell them that you're in the beginning of the process and want to ask a couple of questions. I know it sounds strange, but you'll get someone to bite.

I would think that the inventor groups are small with all the regulations. I was talking with a group from NY about what they were doing to get one of the dispensary licenses, and the regulatory red tape was crazy. I think the industry has crazy growth potential, and hope you succeed!
