Ensuring your idea is market-ready and anchored in real-world feasibility.

A minimum viable product (concept) or service piloted with feedback, providing evidence of demand and reducing risk.

Mastery of product categories, consumer shifts, and the competitive landscape, with the ability to distinguish between Cannabis 1.0 (agricultural rush), Cannabis 2.0 (the product wave of oils, edibles, CBD), and the dawn of Cannabis 3.0 — where strategy, sophistication, and global positioning define the winners.

Understanding when the law arrives, how it evolves, and how to stay ahead instead of becoming another victim of prohibition’s aftershocks.

Access to decision-makers, regulators, and investors who can support and accelerate your journey.

Frequently Asked Question

This is not a generic online course. It’s an 8-week accelerator with live sessions, weekly office hours, and direct access to global cannabis leaders. A single hour with these experts normally costs more than the full tuition. You’re not paying for theory — you’re paying to leave with a tested business model, MVP, and plan ready for execution.

Replays are available exclusively for participants. Plus, weekly office hours ensure you can catch up and get tailored feedback. As long as you stay engaged and follow the steps, you’ll keep pace with the program.

We offer a risk-free guarantee: if you fully participate, follow the instructions, and still don’t leave with a validated concept, a tested MVP, and a structured business plan, we’ll refund your tuition in full and give you a 1:1 private clinic to ensure you succeed.

  • Lead Faculty: Alexandre Poulin, MSc – internationally recognized cannabis entrepreneur and innovator.

  • Guest Experts: Dr. Machel Emmanuel (breeding & research), Dr. Al Mario Casimir (Dominica cannabis reform), Caribbean regulators (Barbados, St Lucia, USVI, Dominica, Bermuda, St Kitts, Antigua, St Vincent), Mike Samways (Hyde Advisory), Mustafa Tanriverdi (FDI & international development).

  • Mentorship: Same Epee & Eden Saada (International Society of Cannabis).

We limit capacity to guarantee personalized attention. This is not a mass-market webinar. It’s a selective accelerator where you’ll get direct access and feedback from world-class faculty and mentors.

That’s exactly why you should join. You’ll learn how to anticipate reform, align with regulation, and position yourself ahead of legalization. Participants from jurisdictions in transition gain a decisive first-mover advantage.

Yes. While the program focuses on the Caribbean market and Cannabis 3.0, the frameworks apply globally. In fact, international participants gain unique insights into emerging markets and multipolar opportunities.

No. Level 1 is designed to take you from idea to execution. Whether you’re new to the industry or already active, you’ll build a solid foundation, strategy, and network.

That’s fine. We help you identify viable opportunities during the program. By Week 8, you’ll still leave with a tested MVP and business plan.

Most courses give you knowledge. This program gives you results. It’s hands-on, built around live sessions, business model design, MVP testing, regulatory insights, and investor-readiness. You leave with a plan you can execute, not just theory.

Level 1 gives you your foundation: MVP + business plan. Level 2 takes you to scaling, financing, and international expansion — preparing you to raise capital and grow across borders.

Free resources give fragments. This program connects you directly to the people shaping the industry, compresses years of trial-and-error into 8 weeks, and ensures you leave with a business model ready to launch.

Both. Many entrepreneurs join solo, while established companies send managers or small teams. The program is designed so one participant can represent a business, but we also allow group enrollment for teams who want to build together.
