#30 - Creating An App to Scan Cannabis - KushScan

On this episode Tom is having a chat with Aleksandr Koriulakov and Alex Hermann. Aleksandr is the CEO, main programmer, and brains behind KushScan, an app that tries to detect what strain type your cannabis is by taking a photo of the flower. Aleksandr has many years of experience working in the software industry under his belt, whereas Alex comes from a more business background and has helped several IT start-ups get off the ground.
