Yield Growth Retained to Build Cannabis Delivery Platform For Antler Retail in California

Yield Growth wholly-owned subsidiary Thrive Activations develops technology and incubates new businesses- engaged to develop technology platform to support a cannabis state-wide delivery system


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF) (Frankfurt: YG3) announces subsidiary Thrive Activations Inc. (“Thrive Activations”) has been retained by Antler Retail to build a technology platform to support California-wide delivery of Cannabis and cannabis products pursuant to new California rules.  This engagement  is expected to generate consulting revenue for Yield Growth and expand distribution in the California market for CBD and THC infused wellness product lines.

New rules approved by the California Office of Administrative Law give licensed cannabis delivery operators permission to deliver cannabis anywhere in the state.  That includes cities and counties that are currently barring cannabis products.  The new regulations went into effect on January 16, 2019, and now allow millions of California residents to order cannabis to their homes.

Antler Retail has a financial interest in a permit for a retail cannabis location in Desert Hot Springs, California with an application in development for a state-wide delivery license, which Antler is planning to build out into a chain of cannabis retail outlets with a focus on delivery distribution throughout California.

Thrive has started mapping the business requirements, identifying regulatory requirements and potential technology solutions.  Using advanced analytics Antler Retail will be able to quickly react to market demand and deploy resources in the most efficient way.

Thrive Activations has consistently generated revenue for the past 12 months offering technology focused services for emerging companies. Its most recent engagement has been as a technology services provider to HeyBryan Media for its peer-to-peer mobile marketplace app HeyBryan. HeyBryan, in conjunction with HGTV star Bryan Baeumler, is an app that connects homeowners with vetted home-service experts to complete small tasks around the house.

HeyBryan is live in Toronto and Vancouver with over 3,000 active users. Download the app at the App Store or Google Play or visit heybryan.com for more information.
