Ancillary cannabis technology — no plant-touching, standard banking, pitchable to mainstream SaaS and IoT investors. Two products, one continuously improving data engine, and a market gap that's wide open.
The Tuck Simmons Data Company, LLC sells software, hardware, and data intelligence. The cannabis plant never passes through our hands or our business model. This distinction is foundational.
Standard bank accounts, Stripe, credit cards. No cannabis banking headaches. Plant-touching companies can't do this due to federal Schedule I status. We can.
Cannabis VCs specifically prefer ancillary. We are also pitchable to mainstream B2B SaaS and IoT investors who would never touch a plant-touching company.
Lifestyle journal and social check-in app — same category as Untappd, which has operated in both app stores without issue for over a decade. We do not sell weed.
No meaningful federal criminal exposure. We sell software subscriptions and hardware sensors. Multi-state expansion requires no per-state licensing — software crosses state lines freely.
Three data points that tell the whole story.
This is pre-revenue. The demos are built. The patent is filed. The partners are being approached. The right investors get in before any of that changes the valuation.
The round is structured as a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). A formal SAFE agreement will be prepared by legal counsel before any funds are accepted. This is not a securities offering.
We are raising a small pre-seed round from a limited number of investors. The goal is to fund the initial product build, the sesh™ hardware pilot, and the first design partner relationship — from a position of strength, not desperation.
Getting in now versus getting in after a larger institutional raise are very different deals. Early investors take real risk. They also get the terms that reflect it.

Not a first-time founder learning on the job. A product manager with a decade of experience building software at scale.
I spent 7+ years as a Digital Product Manager at USAA — a Fortune 100 financial services company — building software products at scale. I know what it takes to ship, to iterate, and to manage a product roadmap under real constraints.
This is the first time I've seen a market gap this obvious with no one in it. I'm building it either way. But the right investors get in early, on the right terms, with the full picture in front of them.
I'm based in Aurora, Colorado — which means I'm in the most mature cannabis market in the country, with direct access to the dispensaries and brands I'm pitching.
I'm not sending decks to strangers. If you want the full picture — demos, product vision, financial research, comparable analysis — reach out and we'll talk.
The right investors hear about this before it changes.
