Business case behind crowdgrowing Cannabis boom expected due to legalizationĪccording to a survey of the European cannabis market, experts in the cannabis industry expect the market for legal cannabis in Europe to grow rapidly. In the latter case, it is a kind of “natural dividend” as monetary consideration ( nonmonetary transaction), which is typical for crowdfunding projects. They can either sell these through the grower’s distribution network or even have them legally sent to them for their own use (no psycho-active substances). Instead of interest on the invested capital, the crowd growers (also called e-grower) receive shares of the harvest yields in return. In practice, this means that many private investors (crowd growers) give money so that a cannabis cultivator ( grower) can then use it to make necessary investments and start growing. However, on-site visits to the growing companies are also possible in some cases (more on this later).Ĭrowd Growing thus subordinates itself to and uses crowdfunding for the necessary investments for the cultivation of legal cannabis. This is because the “crowd” will normally only be able to see their own plants virtually (sometimes also via installed cameras) in a growing dashboard (also called grow room or green house). With the “e” for e-growing, the focus is on the electronic or virtual component behind this crowdfunding concept. The investment term is composed of “crowd” for a larger number of people and “growing” for the cultivation of cannabis plants. The term crowd growing (sometimes also crowdgrowing or e-growing) emerged only in recent years from various marketing campaigns of the cannabis startup industry.
