What Paradise seeds does

Paradise Seeds (legal entity Paradise Products B.v.) is an Amsterdam-headquartered cannabis seed bank founded in 1994 by Luc Krol. The company breeds and sells feminized, autoflower, and CBD cannabis seed genetics through both proprietary Amsterdam-classic lines and exclusive collaborations with Compound Genetics and Tommy Chong's Collection for the US market. Its core technology is in-house breeding and genetics development built on 30+ years of lineage, with each seed batch tested and released only when germination exceeds 95%. The product catalog is organized by seed type, growing environment, and curated collections (Cup Winners, Latest Releases, Summer Collection 2025), complemented by CBD oil SKUs and branded merchandise via collaborations with Plazmalab and Grassroots California.

Paradise Seeds operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model with unit-priced seed packs ranging from €23.50 to €165.00, supplemented by a B2B wholesale portal for licensed retailers and a Tapfiliate-driven affiliate program. Distribution is multi-channel: a Netherlands-warehouse EU storefront, a separate US storefront backed by a local warehouse, physical retail through an exclusive Amsterdam Seed Center partnership near Dam Square (carrying 1,500+ strains from 50+ brands), and shipping logistics via DHL and Post NL. Customer segments span home growers, medical cannabis users, retailers/resellers, and professional/commercial growers, with collector appeal from exclusive Compound Genetics strains and cup-winning genetics.

The business is privately held and self-funded with 11-50 employees, no parent company, no disclosed venture or private equity backing, no acquisitions, and no public revenue disclosure. Geographic reach covers the 27 EU member states plus the United States, with explicit exclusions for the UK, Switzerland, Portugal, and various EU overseas territories.
