Chris Bolton, Founder and CEO of TheraCann International and Sprout AI, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "It is with great pleasure that we announce the recombination of TheraCann International and its former subsidiary, Sprout AI. By combining Sprout AI, which possesses our cultivation hardware, with our other wholly-owned subsidiaries OS2, which holds our secure and multi-lingual enterprise resource planning and compliance software (ERPc), and our leading-edge plant traceability technology (ETCH biotrace), the sum of our whole will surely be greater than its parts."
Bolton continued, "We are well-positioned to expand our operations internationally, having spent years perfecting our crop-agnostic, lower-cost operations, and providing farm as a solution (FaaS) facilities globally. Our FaaS facilities are capable of producing over 30 crops, including fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, in a water-neutral, power-conservative, and labor-efficient manner. We can plan, design, and implement a full-scale commercial production center (CPC) capable of producing over 880,000 pounds of pure produce, free of any biological or chemical contaminants. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that we can achieve more with much less capital financing. Consequently, we have chosen this time to enter the public market as a fully amalgamated and integrated company. We believe the indoor vertical farm market is now primed to receive our FaaS Turn-Key Facility solution globally."
