About Us

We're building the backbone of cannabis tech

Pandemic Media was founded on a simple belief: cannabis businesses deserve the same world-class digital infrastructure that every other industry takes for granted.

Our Story

From frustration to foundation

We saw it firsthand — brilliant cannabis operators forced to duct-tape together generic tools that weren't built for their reality. Marketing platforms that wouldn't onboard them. Payment processors that dropped them overnight. Analytics software that couldn't track compliance requirements.

Pandemic Media was born from that gap. We assembled a team that combines deep cannabis industry knowledge with world-class engineering talent. Together, we're building the infrastructure layer that this industry has been missing — purpose-built, compliance-native, and engineered to scale.

We're currently in the build phase — heads-down on engineering a platform that cannabis businesses can finally rely on. Every line of code is written with operators in mind.

Our Values

What drives everything we build

These aren't buzzwords on a wall. They're the principles we hire for, build with, and measure ourselves against every single day.

Innovation First

We don't copy generic solutions. Every feature is designed from first principles for the cannabis ecosystem.

Compliance Native

Regulation isn't an afterthought — it's baked into our architecture. We stay ahead of policy so you never fall behind.

Growth Obsessed

Every product decision is measured against one question: does this help our clients grow revenue?

Radical Transparency

Real-time dashboards, honest reporting, and open communication. No vanity metrics, no hidden fees, no surprises.
