An annual quest to award a deserving minority-owned business a California Type-S cannabis manufacturing license.
A CHANCE TO WIN A CANNABIS MANUFACTURING LICENSE
What is NDICA Quest?
NDICA Quest is an initiative to equalize the current cannabis industry by opening the door for passionate, minority-controlled businesses looking to Go Green. A very small percentage of legal cannabis businesses are actually minority-controlled. Seeing a lot of talk about needing change – we wanted to empower real change by doing what we could.
Each year, NDICA Quest will select and fund a deserving, minority-controlled business and make their cannabis entrepreneur dream come true.
NDICA Quest 2020 is our first program and will consist of three rounds spanning approximately 3 months with the public being the final judge.
The chosen minority business will receive the following
- Subsidized monthly rent with complete access to NDICA’s network and facility.
- Free legal assistance with business formation and trademark
- A paid-for type S cannabis license to NDICA’s upcoming LA shared-manufacturing facility
- Branding and Packaging Design by Studio 810 Media
