I've been in talks with a very public organization down in Fl that plans on opening cultivation facilities throughout the state if everything works out regulation wise. I was hoping to do that and start my own facility as long as there would be no competition clause in the contract. What are cultivators in commercial facilities making in CO currently?
It's all over the map and indeed often reflects what the grower THINKS they're worth, as opposed to real ability and/or experience.
Everyone is a pro until they blow up their first 100k op, right? And then it's someone else's fault?
To answer the basic question, it's anywhere from $20 an hour for good work hands on up to the sky is the limit for a 'celebrity grower'- whatever that is.
I'm very expensive, for example. On the other hand, I have a business plan that says what I'm peddling is a fucking steal at twice the price. How many growers do you know with a business plan? It's allllllll about that ROI, baby!
The truth is, I have something that is far more rare and valuable than just another grower; I have a genuine, bona fide startup opportunity.
That's why I'm done with the nickel and dime players; I need real investment capital- and not necessarily for what might first come to mind, either.
