- Delivering business solutions designed exclusively for the lucrative cannabis industry
- Expanding portfolio of synergistic portfolio of cannabis service companies
- Creator of Budtender Awards, the first cannabis-related expo and education event on the Las Vegas strip
Round Meadow Holdings Corp. (“RMH”) is a professional organization that represents accountability, delivering business solutions created exclusively for the expanding cannabis industry. A synergistic portfolio of cannabis service companies, RMH is dedicated to supporting the competitive cannabis landscape and its participants as the industry evolves and faces historic growth spurts and challenges.
Historically, when industries such as cannabis experienced growth spurts, many people rushed to find their position within that space. As the competitive landscape increased, so did the velocity of product offerings. For instance, during the Gold Rush of 1849, most successes were found among companies that provided services to the miners rather than with the miners themselves. Levi Strauss and a few well-known hotel chains and banks know all too well the outcome of offering goods and services to an exploding industry.
RMH recognizes numerous opportunities within the current marketplace and has defined its strategy for success in the evolving cannabis industry. At the core of this strategy is a portfolio of synergistic brands, including Canna Paid, Budtender Awards, BudtenderSelect.com, and High Lifestyle. These separate verticals are designed to provide relevant and much-needed services to the cannabis industry. They are interconnected and supportive of each other, strengthening their positions as a whole.
RMH Companies
Canna Paid
Canna Paid is a merchant services platform that utilizes a unique and proprietary compliance technology to provide cannabis merchants a competitive and standard retail banking solution. Canna Paid works with all major credit card brands, and enables users to send and receive electronic payments.
One of the distinct features of the Canna Paid technology, which significantly benefits the user experience, is that it supports and maintains existing consumer behaviors. The process performs in the same manner as a traditional retail credit card transaction, but incorporates tokenization -similar to how Apple Pay works – to secure the transaction at the highest level. This process protects the merchant and cardholder from fraud and unintentional disputes (“chargebacks”). Furthermore, it simply makes it easy for cannabis dispensaries and customers to seamlessly conduct business. As the Canna Paid portfolio continues to expand, so does the brand equity that secures its position as an industry leader.
FAQ: What happens if cannabis becomes legal nationwide, or what if banking becomes more available for cannabis-related businesses? How will this affect Canna Paid?
As an emerging branded technology and industry leader, Canna Paid remains scalable and closely connected to the growth of the industry and the governing regulations.
Further driving Canna Paid’s appeal as the end-to-end solution for a variety of traditional banks and financial institutions is its capability of providing electronic payment solutions that can integrate with POS systems and simultaneously collect transactional data at the point of purchase. If cannabis becomes legal in all 50 U.S. states (de-scheduled), or if traditional banking becomes more available to business owners in this space, the most valuable factor to conventional banking partners will be the contracts and relationships that Canna Paid has secured. The unique advantages that Canna Paid can offer to a traditional banking partner makes it a prime target for a strategic partnership.
Budtender Awards
RMH excited the cannabis community in 2019 with the creation of the “Budtender Awards,” becoming the first-ever cannabis-related expo and education event at an MGM property and the first at any casino on the Las Vegas strip.
The modern-day “Budtender” is an individual who is helping to redefine and elevate what it means to be someone who works in a dispensary or store where medical or recreational cannabis is sold. Increasingly, this subculture is evolving into a group of highly educated professionals who are continually developing their unique blend of style, food, entertainment, music, fashion, and, most importantly, their recommendations to an ever-growing variety of cannabis offerings. They are educators, advisors, sales professionals, occasionally a “therapist,” and often a trusted resource or friend to their customers.
No matter the role, they are the frontline of the cannabis industry who stand between the thousands of emerging brands, and their would-be customers. Amid this developing group are rising stars who are making a significant impact on the cannabis culture itself.
The 2020 Budtender Awards Experience will take place Sept. 17-19 in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino with a full slate of brand activations, pop-up giveaways, vendors, product samples, brand certifications, industry speakers, educational panels, and a Budtender Bootcamp. Networking opportunities, along with a poolside concert series and exclusive VIP parties, add to the unique and exciting atmosphere for expo participants.
Clover Leaf University (“CLU”), the first accredited university specializing in phytotechnology to be approved, regulated, and licensed by the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Private Occupational School Board, will provide Budtender educational opportunities covering a wide range of topics. CLU delivers the highest quality industry training and the most comprehensive curriculum available today.
Projects in Development
