EP 002 - Verda.ca The Uber Eats of Cannabis

Evan Adcock is the CEO at Verda Innovations Inc. while Mackenzie Ferguson is the Companys President. They co-founded the company in conjunction with Stephen Masseur, the Chief Technology Officer at the company.

They are young millennials, business-minded entrepreneurs who created the 'Uber Eats' of recreational and medical cannabis. They plan to launch their B2C mobile application on October 17th, 2018 upon the Canadian legalization of cannabis (Bill C-45). The App connects users to retailers by linking the people who want to purchase cannabis with the people who supply it.
