Interview with Kevin Brooks CEO Conception Nurseries

Ganjapreneur

As the former CEO of both Cookies Management and Connected Cannabis, Kevin Brooks recognized early on that plant health was the largest vulnerability in the cannabis supply chain.

His experience building one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis companies in California, as they successfully developed some of the most well-known, super-premium cannabis products on the market, led him to form Conception Nurseries. Conception is the only company in California capable of offering commercial-scale tissue culture to the cannabis industry.

In addition to their own extensive catalog of cultivar clones, Conception also offers remediation, cold storage, and exclusive production services. Kevin’s history of leadership and successful exits in the highly regulated technology space have
fueled the success of Sacramento-based Conception Nurseries.

Recent notable milestones
include:
● Recipient of the Ready to Invest™ award at The Arcview Group‘s inaugural Investor
Intelligence Conference.
● Selected as exclusive nursery for COOKIES Fam Genetics for California and Oregon
markets
● Over $40M raised since inception in 2019.
