Toast was born in 2017 in the heart of Aspen, Colorado, founded by an impressive team including ex-Bridgewater Associates alumnus Punit Seth and Former Global CMO of Anheuser Busch InBev Chris Burggraeve. What started as a casual conversation between friends transformed into one of the most ambitious cannabis ventures in the industry.The company has raised over $10M from Venture Capital, Family Offices and Angels and has been steadily executing on their vision to become one of the first national cannabis brands in the $100B+ cannabis industry. Since launching their signature Slice pre-rolls, Toast has achieved significant milestones including launching in Michigan and New York in 2023, with announced expansions into New Mexico and Arizona.The brand has garnered impressive media attention, with Forbes calling Toast the "Moët Hennessy of Cannabis". Their strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Columbia Care, TILT, and Erewhon have positioned them for national expansion across 10-15 markets by 2025.
