AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE -- Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTCMKTS: DVLP) (“DVLP” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in the Cannabis, Hemp, and CBD marketplace, issues the following letter to Shareholders from the CEO:
Dear Valued Shareholder,
I would like to begin by thanking our committed shareholders for your patience and support as we have navigated our transition over the past year. The result is beginning to bear the fruits of that labor in terms of monetization, but we wouldn’t have made it to this promising point without you!
Today, I want to give some more details about this opportunity and how we plan to act on it.
The prepotency of the situation should be obvious: because we have established powerful access to a distribution footprint defined by the organic growth of our marketing platform (Where’s Weed), we have already done much of the work involved in monetizing the production of a core consumable (CBD). In other words, going into the production side is really just another way to cash in. We see it as a basic responsibility to our shareholders to recognize and act on such opportunities.
As such, we started to explore this possibility last quarter, and finally decided to move on it this month: we will be establishing a first-class CBD extraction and production facility. Our ultimate goal is to establish a network of sites to cover regional distribution zones.
The first site has been identified and will be established in Colorado.
We are already working closely with two different equipment manufacturers, each of which has committed to working side-by-side with us in a hands-on process as we outfit our facility over the near term. Given the capacity of the extraction equipment we will be installing, we estimate total plant capacity to process between 150-175k lbs of dry hemp flower per year at the facility.
As noted, this opportunity springs from what we can now see as one of our most important strategic decisions over the past year: the acquisition of the Where’s Weed platform. The move has been a striking success. The Q4 revenue contribution from that platform alone is showing 180% in year-over-year growth. And the curve is accelerating.
Where’s Weed is a network. It grows through a traction process that is bolstered in terms of its viability as it gains in terms of nominal breadth. In other words, as any new partner is added, the next partner gets that much easier to find. It’s a classic network effect process. And it has provided us with the opportunity to expand vertically because it includes privileged access to partnered dispensaries as hubs.
So, the big news right now is that we are definitely expanding into CBD extraction and production, a site has been selected in Colorado, and negotiations with equipment suppliers are active and progressing well. At full capacity revenue estimates would be in the range of $25-35M.
We will update you as events progress from here.
Best Regards,
Stavros Triant,
CEO
