Point Seven Group

What Point Seven Group does

Point Seven Group (Point7) is a management consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Aspen, Colorado with an additional office in Denver. The firm operates exclusively in the commercial cannabis sector and provides three core service lines: (1) Cannabis Business Licensing & Operations, including application strategy, business planning, financial modeling, SOP development, staffing, and operational readiness; (2) Cannabis Business Development & Branding, including logo development, brand narrative, website design, and digital marketing; and (3) Cannabis Dispensary Design & Build-Outs, including facade and interior design, equipment procurement, and full facility build-out for cultivation, extraction, and retail sites. Since 2016 Point7 has reported serving 300+ clients across 100+ regulated markets globally, with 80+ commercial licenses won in competitive state application processes.

The firm's underlying capability is a curated methodology for cannabis license applications and dispensary operations built up state-by-state, layered onto a partner ecosystem that delivers adjacent services without in-house build-out. Key partners span commerce technology (Dutchie), architecture (ARCH7), training (Cannabis Trainers), staffing (Vangst), cultivation (Pure Cultivation), and insurance/security (Sapphire Risk Advisory Group). Named clients include Calyx Peak, Shangri-La, Nirvana Investments, Bridge City Collective, and the City of Wayzata, Minnesota. The lead practitioner is founder and CEO Ashley Picillo, supported by VP-level leadership in compliance/government relations (Jason Paley), business development (Katelyn Coskey), and business development and marketing (Devon Richardson).

Point7 generates revenue through custom-package project engagements and retainer arrangements, with pricing quoted per scope rather than published. The go-to-market motion is principally sales-led via industry events, speaking engagements, referrals, and direct outreach to cannabis operators and investment groups. Revenue is concentrated almost entirely within the cannabis vertical, exposing the firm to the regulatory cadence and capital-formation cycles of that single industry. The firm reports 40+ years of combined team experience and currently prepares client engagements for newly legalizing states including Kentucky, Virginia, New York, and Minnesota, with application materials positioned for New Jersey.
