OAKLAND Calif. —
Andrew DeAngelo Consulting in collaboration with ACV Consulting, announced today the launch of Pipeline, a cannabis business growth engine supporting cannabis startups and businesses navigating all the phases of development, operations, and building sustainable growth.
“ACV consulting and I have joined forces to provide clients with A-list talent at reasonable rates,” said Andrew DeAngelo. “Startups and established companies can get into the Pipeline and ride the green wave to robust returns and hyper growth. From Apple stores and The North Face to Harborside and Last Prisoner Project, the track record of this team is truly one of a kind.”
Pipeline provides both startups and established companies with tools to navigate a challenging industry like cannabis and the entrepreneurs seeking to make their mark within it. As capital markets and investors flee the space, margins become constrained by overproduction, and regulatory and tax burdens increase, the need for smart branding that stands out and operational expertise that leads to growth has never been more important.
“We understand the challenges new businesses face, particularly in today’s intricate climate,” said Christopher Peak, Principal and Senior Vice President of Retail Development at ACV. “From my early work with Andrew and Steve DeAngelo at Harborside, I’ve remained steadfast in my belief that the success of cannabis legalization hinges on legitimizing the space by building meaningful, thriving brands that foster efficient paths to profitable businesses. We offer high-level expertise that immediately empowers brands, enabling them to navigate this landscape effectively at any stage of their journey, driving them to their best potential.”
Peak’s ACV are brand builders and proven omni-channel leaders. Led by former executives from The North Face and Apple
, ACV provides expert brand marketing and retail consulting to global clients. ACV’s proven expertise and collective experience was forged guiding the world’s most innovative and successful brands to omnichannel success.
Whether a business is just starting or looking to expand its presence, Pipeline is here to support at every step of the journey, ensuring your business thrives and flourishes in the ever-evolving cannabis landscape.
Andrew DeAngelo launched his consulting business in 2020 along with principals Stephanie Thomas, Nayir Felix, and Doug Fine. He is a unique leader who grows organizations from the ground up.
Andrew is the co-founder of Harborside Inc., a publicly traded cannabis company. He is a co-founder of the non-profit, Last Prisoner Project, and a co-founder of the California Cannabis Industry Association. In addition, Andrew is one of the few people to have owned and operated cannabis companies in the legacy, medical, and adult-use markets on both coasts of the United States. Andrew helped legalize medical and adult-use cannabis in California and Washington, D.C. He is the very definition of a trailblazer and someone known as a pioneer in the industry.
