Cann was founded in 2018 by Harvard and Stanford graduates Jake Bullock and Luke Anderson, two former Bain & Company consultants who wanted to create a healthier alternative to alcohol. Their mission from the beginning was to normalize the consumption of cannabis-infused beverages and to make partying and socializing without alcohol much more fun.What started as a revolutionary idea has become a cannabis beverage phenomenon. By 2022, the company had sold over 10 million beverages to consumers, was distributing in six states and two Canadian provinces, and had closed on a $27 million Series A funding round. The company initially raised $5 million in 2020 and has consistently sold out multiple times due to overwhelming demand.Cann's celebrity investors include Nina Dobrev, Adam Devine, Zoey Deutch, Jordan Cooper, Sara Foster, Rosario Dawson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Baron Davis, Rebel Wilson, Kate Hudson, Darren Criss, Casey Niestat, Tove Lo, and Bre-Z. As of 2025, Cann has expanded to selling beverages in liquor stores in about 20 states, transforming from a dispensary-only brand to a mainstream beverage company that's reshaping how people think about social drinking.
Cann's core mission is to redefine social drinking by providing a better-for-you alternative to alcohol through microdosed cannabis beverages. The founders believe that alcohol didn't make them their best selves, but cannabis actually made them more themselves.Cann is on a mission to inject values back into the products we consume, starting with the flavor experience. The company prioritizes creating approachable, microdosed products that give consumers full control over their experience, unlike traditional high-dose cannabis edibles.Cann prioritizes diversity and inclusion, even when it doesn't immediately appear to impact their business performance. As queer founders, the duo committed themselves to inclusive marketing aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community. The brand's commitment to responsible consumption and social responsibility extends to supporting the normalization of cannabis as a mainstream social beverage, helping reduce stigma while promoting safer alternatives to alcohol.
