Backing Hemp'in

Hemp'in is building the record of where hemp law actually stands, what the plant actually is, and who is actually doing the work — country by country, each claim carrying a source. It is independent, early, and further along than it looks from outside.

Most of that directory was placed there by us — we seeded it deliberately, and we would rather say so than have anyone discover it. What is ours is the graph underneath, where every claim remembers where it came from, and the way the pieces connect: most mapped countries already carry more than one kind of entity. We are live-testing that graph by seeding into it and learning as we go.

We asked the industry first

Feb–Apr 2026: 266 cold emails to processors, farmers, associations and labs. 30 replied — 11.3%, against a B2B cold-email benchmark of about 2.5% — and 8 asked for a demo. Thirteen of those replies are reproduced in full behind the door; the rest are counted, not quoted.

What they asked for was compliance: certificates, chain of custody, standardised data instead of paper and WhatsApp. We built the coordination layer first — who exists, where the law stands, what is for sale. The compliance layer is specified and not yet built, and it is a large part of what this round is for.

How investing here works

What you get once we have spoken

• The round. The instrument, the terms, and what has been committed so far — read live, not from a slide.
• The model. Five years of revenue, costs, users and partnerships; where the money goes, line by line; and the exit scenarios — including the one where it returns nothing.
• The programme. What is not happening today because nobody is paid to do it, and what changes when they are.
• Materials. The agreement, the document library, and the record behind the round. Every document is released by a person, never automatically.
• What you hold, if you already invested — amount, tranche, discount, valuation cap, document number and your signed agreement.
