FLOWER CO. sells weed on the internet.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an online platform that lets customers order legal cannabis for next-day delivery in multiple California markets. We own and control the supply chain from cultivation to delivery. Our product solves the problem of buying weed legally online without the hassle or waiting weeks for slow services.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is the heart of cannabis innovation and a large, legal market with complex logistics. Being here helps us manage cultivation, distribution, and delivery efficiently and stay close to our customers and suppliers.
