Hey Peter,
100 years ago this month the US ratified the 18th amendment and officially prohibited the 'manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors.' For 13 years, alcohol was illegal in the United States, something that now feels like a preposterous prohibition... today booze is a $250 billion business.
Comparatively, cannabis has been federally illegal in the US for 83 years. And as you know, the last twenty years have seen some radical changes: California voted to legalize medical marijuana in 1996, Colorado and Washinton legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, and now 11 states and Washington DC have legalized recreational marijuana use and 33 states have legal medical use. We've been following this seachange and are excited to dive deeper into the opportunities of cannabis at RENDER: Power Plant. Tickets and Livestream on sale now: check out the full lineup and agenda at beta.works/powerplant
Calling all foodies! Tonight we're excited to host the premiere event from Studios member Matt Newberg and his new media startup HNGRY.tv, examining the impact of technology on our relationship with food. HNGRY has produced some fascinating episodes on The Future of Alcohol and Virtual Kitchens and tonight HNGRY welcomes eight food industry experts to discuss the future of dining and CPG. RSVP and come hungry.
And early next week we have a number of awesome happenings at Studios, including our weekly Demos and Sh!t I'm Working On as well as sessions with Mona Bijoor and Kelsa Trom. It's going to be a great week.
See you at Studios.

TONIGHT! BRING A FRIEND.
Plate and Pantry 3.0: Innovations in Food & Beverage
Tonight, Thursday, January 23 at 6:30pm-9:00pm
It took two and a half decades for Amazon to capture 5% of the world’s total retail. If this period was about layering technology on top of existing industries, the next will be digital-first and physical second.
HNGRY, a new media startup examining the impact of technology on our relationship with food, invites you to an evening of discussions with this next generation of builders, investors, and consumers shaping the very food designed for your pantry and plate.
TOMORROW. DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

Developing Go-To-Market Strategies: A Masterclass with Mona Bijoor
Tuesday, Jan 28 | 6:30pm-8:30pm
Having a solid go-to-market strategy (how you plan to get customers to buy your product or service) is the key to building a scalable and profitable business. Typically in investor presentations, the go-to-market slides are almost always generic. As a business owner, your job is to figure out how to get your target customer to purchase your product or service with ease.
