    Launching a billion dollar start-up in the cannabis sector from Business of Cannabis on Vimeo.

    On this episode of BofC Live, we connect with Julie Beun and Adam Miron. Miron was the co-founder of HEXO and Julie Beun was an early employee. Together, they just published Billion Dollar Start-Up: The True Story of How a Couple of 29-Year-Olds Turned $35,000 into a $1,000,000,000 Cannabis Company about the launch of that company. Beun and Miron talk about the early days, the break-neck pace to launch and the uncertainty of Canada’s cannabis sector in the build up to legalization in 2018.
