Today I’m sitting down with Vince Ning, CEO and Co-Founder of Multi-State Distribution and Wholesale Marketplace Nabis. We’ll discuss how he got into the industry, his recent acquisition of blackbird from the HERBL receivership, and what it takes to make it in today’s market climate.
Nabis is the leading licensed cannabis wholesale platform in the world improving commerce for over half a billion dollars’ worth of products per year by wholesale value for over 300 brands to thousands of retailers across the United States. With expertise forged at Microsoft and in his prior company later sold to Amazon when he was 23 years old, Vince is a world-class technologist and entrepreneur who has turned his focus to accelerating cannabis industry growth operationally and compliantly. Vince’s prowess in technology, finance and data analysis have made him an invaluable partner to top-tier cannabis brands and retailers across the United States, where he has helped hundreds of businesses launch and scale.
Through his leadership, Nabis, a Y Combinator-backed company, is poised to become the largest national cannabis B2B platform. Vince, a Forbes 30 Under 30 executive, has held a position as Board Director of the Cannabis Distribution Association (CDA) to help shape regulations for the betterment of the cannabis supply chain. He has studied at Harvard Kennedy School for Public Policy & Leadership, and graduated from the University of Virginia with degrees in Computer Science, Economics and Statistics.
