What Stash Ventures does

Stash Ventures, LLC is a privately held, founder-led, vertically integrated cannabis operator headquartered in Fishers, Indiana with operational headquarters in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Founded in 2019 by Scott and Julie Moorehead, the company serves as the parent entity for three operating brands in the Michigan market: High Minded and Timber Cannabis Co., both founded in 2020 with in-house cultivation, small-batch production, and owned retail dispensaries, and Cloud Cannabis, an acquired dispensary chain operating multiple locations across Michigan including Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Traverse City. The combined portfolio offers flower, edibles, tinctures, vaporizers, concentrates, and CBD items through owned storefronts and online ordering, with a stated value proposition centered on customer education, product consistency, and de-stigmatization of cannabis in a relatively newly legal recreational market.

The company's revenue model is direct-to-consumer cannabis product sales through its owned retail brands, supplemented by wholesale distribution from its in-house cultivation and small-batch production operations. No app, API, or proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the operation is fundamentally physical retail and cultivation infrastructure. The customer base consists of adult-use recreational and medical cannabis consumers in Michigan, segmented geographically rather than by enterprise account. Marketing presence is primarily through the company website and community engagement, anchored by the Higher Hopes Giving philanthropic initiative led by co-owner Julie Moorehead.

Strategic posture as of late 2024 reflects active scaling: the addition of a Senior Director of Retail and Marketing (Mike Stump, December 2024) and a Director of Marketing (Christopher York), both with multi-state cannabis operations experience, signals intent to expand beyond Michigan into adjacent Midwest markets. The company holds no disclosed external funding, operates as an LLC with wholly owned subsidiaries, and is led by a specialized team including a Director of Cultivation with 12 years of cannabis industry experience and a Director of Government Relations who was the inaugural editor-in-chief of the State Bar of Michigan's Cannabis Law Section Journal.
