ALIGN exists to de-risk cannabis start-ups and empower under-performing operators to achieve high performance metrics, with best in class leadership.
Let’s talk about your Cultivation, Manufacturing, Retail, or Lab facility.
leverage our expertise for:
Foundational Development for New Cannabis Operations
Align helps new businesses establish financial and operational stability with the future challenges of price compression and market saturation in mind, through intelligent integration of Business Plan, Operational Design & Facility Design.
Cannabis Operations / Facility Audit
Our 98 point on-site operations audit provides clear, comprehensive insight into the core of an operation and the building itself. It exposes current and future strengths and weaknesses, and provides a report with actionable info and strategy so that options can be considered to steer the operation toward its desired potential.
Cannabis Improvement & Expansion Projects
Our operational expertise makes us the ideal support team for those looking to grow and expand their operations or troubleshoot and reorganize to solve systemic and/or operational issues that are stifling growth and profitability.
Cannabis Design / Build Projects
We highly respect architects and contractors – we couldn’t do what we do without them – but having an operator involved at the design/build stages will ensure that the facility you build can execute on your projections. Instead of building a state of the art facility and then seeing how it performs, build that desired performance into your facility from day 1.
Cannabis Operations Management & Partnerships
Prefer a more hands off approach? Our team will come in to oversee and staff your operation to guarantee execution on your projections. We offer Operational Partnerships for those who prefer a rev share model to the more traditional management fee.
Fractional COO Relationships
Fractional executive arrangements are often the smart choice for operators looking to capitalize on access to high level leadership & significant industry experience without the financial burden of a complete benefits package and significant salary that this type of hire expects.

You have a cultivation operation and
- Your average yield is below 100 G/SF (1080 G/SM)
- You’re producing fewer than 6 harvests per year
- Your testing pass rate is below 90%
- Your cost to produce is higher than 60 cents/gram or $272/pound (~556 €/kg)
- You’re struggling to define metrics and implement KPIs
You have a manufacturing operation and
- Your extraction efficiency is less than 92%
- Your cost of gummy production > $0.02 per unit (~€0.000056)
- Your cost of vape production > $0.08 per unit (~€0.000224)
- Your production cost of distillate exceeds $350/liter (~€325/liter)
You have a retail operation and
- Your average transaction time exceeds 4 mins
- Your average customer’s wait time exceeds 5 mins
- You’re forced to discount products to move inventory
- You stock out of any product more than once per quarter
- You don’t yet offer online ordering for in-store or curbside pickup
You're setting up a new operation and
- You want to align your business plan, financial model, operational design & facility design for maximum profitability and long term flexibility
- You want your operation to benefit from lessons already learned in other established markets over the past decade
- You want to ensure investors see the return they’ve been promised
Not as connected with your metrics as you’d like to be?
We get it, and you’re not alone. Operators are sometimes sheepish when they acknowledge they’re missing data points they know they should be tracking. But there’s no place for shame here – the best time to start tracking and actioning your data may have been day 1, but the second best time is today.
We thrive helping operators fine tune their operations to be something they and their investors can really be proud of.
