Episode 3: Jumping into the "Pipeline" with Andrew DeAngelo and Christopher Peak

Andrew DeAngelo Consulting in collaboration with ACV Consulting, 

“ACV consulting and I have joined forces to provide clients with A-list talent at reasonable rates,” said Andrew DeAngelo. 

Pipeline provides both startups and established companies with tools to navigate a challenging industry like cannabis and the entrepreneurs seeking to make their mark within it. As capital markets and investors flee the space, margins become constrained by overproduction, and regulatory and tax burdens increase, the need for smart branding that stands out and operational expertise that leads to growth has never been more important.

Peak’s ACV are brand builders and proven omni-channel leaders. Led by former executives from The North Face® and Apple®, ACV provides expert brand marketing and retail consulting to global clients. ACV’s proven expertise and collective experience was forged guiding the world’s most innovative and successful brands to omnichannel success. 

Andrew is the co-founder of Harborside Inc., a publicly traded cannabis company. He is a co-founder of the non-profit, Last Prisoner Project, and a co-founder of the California Cannabis Industry Association. In addition, Andrew is one of the few people to have owned and operated cannabis companies in the legacy, medical, and adult-use markets on both coasts of the United States. Andrew helped legalize medical and adult-use cannabis in California and Washington, D.C. He is the very definition of a trailblazer and someone known as a pioneer in the industry.
