The Green Finder Launches on the Apple App Store, Opening a New Chapter for Cannabis Culture

The Green Finder is now available on the Apple App Store, marking a major step toward a broader vision: creating a place where cannabis culture can thrive and the people who fuel the industry can connect with the businesses behind it.

Founded by Robbie Hickey and Jacob Alexander, The Green Finder began with a practical goal—to help licensed cannabis operators find one another, build relationships, and discover opportunities. Its expansion brings consumers into that ecosystem, creating more ways for people to discover brands, connect with dispensaries, follow industry news, and participate in the community.

The ambition is to bring the cannabis industry closer together, from the cultivator growing the flower to the consumer discovering a new favorite brand.

A Home for Cannabis Culture

Cannabis businesses and enthusiasts have long faced uncertainty about how they can participate on mainstream social platforms. Product photos and cannabis-related content can put accounts—and the audiences built around them—at risk.

The Green Finder is being built with cannabis at the center of the experience. Sharing products, discussing the industry, and celebrating the culture are part of its purpose.

For consumers, that means a place to follow their favorite brands and retailers, discover new businesses, and engage with people who share their interests. For operators, it means an opportunity to tell their stories and build direct relationships with the people who support their work.

The community feed also creates space for cannabis news, current events, and conversations that help people stay connected to an industry that continues to evolve.

Connecting Consumers With the People Behind the Products

Every cannabis product represents a network of people and businesses: cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, brands, and retailers. The Green Finder aims to make those connections more visible and accessible.

As the platform expands, consumers can become a more active part of that network. Businesses can share updates, introduce products, and give their audiences a closer look at who they are and what they do.

The original business-to-business mission remains an essential part of the platform. Licensed operators still need ways to connect with potential partners, source opportunities, and strengthen their professional networks. Bringing consumers into the community broadens that mission and gives businesses another reason to maintain an active presence.

The goal is a connected ecosystem that supports both professional relationships and consumer discovery.

Visibility That Businesses Can Earn

A central principle behind The Green Finder is that businesses should have a meaningful opportunity to be discovered without paying excessive fees for visibility.

The platform’s commitment is to genuine rankings that cannot be purchased. Businesses should be able to build their reputation through the experiences they deliver, the relationships they develop, and the community’s response.

For smaller and independent operators, that principle matters. A business with a great product and a loyal following deserves an opportunity to reach new customers.

The Green Finder hopes to make discovery more useful for consumers while giving operators a fairer opportunity to grow.

Building Trust Around Licensed Businesses

Connecting consumers with operators also requires confidence in who those operators are.

For California businesses, The Green Finder’s profile-claiming process uses verification through the email associated with the business’s state-issued license on file with the Department of Cannabis Control. This helps establish a connection between a listed business and the operator claiming its profile.

The platform’s focus is discovery, community, and business connections. Cannabis transactions do not take place on the platform.

What Comes Next

The App Store launch makes The Green Finder easier to access and opens the door to a wider audience. The next chapter depends on participation: operators claiming their profiles, brands sharing their stories, retailers engaging with their customers, and consumers contributing to the culture.

The long-term hope is to build a trusted destination for cannabis—somewhere people can discover businesses, stay informed, form relationships, and help shape the community around them.

For Robbie and Jacob, success means creating lasting value for the people who make this industry possible. The Green Finder’s launch is an invitation to those people to help build what comes next.

The Green Finder is now available on the Apple App Store. Explore the platform at thegreenfinder.com, or claim your business profile at thegreenfinder.com/claimprofile.
