What Green Rush Consulting. does

Green Rush Consulting LLC is a privately held, full-service cannabis business consulting firm founded in 2011 and headquartered across two locations — 2300 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV and the San Francisco Bay Area. The firm serves cannabis entrepreneurs, startups, and operating businesses at all stages of development, providing strategic advisory on business building and growth, professional license application development for dispensary, manufacturing, and cultivation permits, and access to investment opportunities within the cannabis supply chain.

The company's service offering spans six core lines: Business Strategy Advisory, Licensing Services, Investment Access, Business Planning (premium business plans, financial plans, and SOPs customized for cannabis operators), Training and Support on best practices, and Post-License Services for ongoing operational guidance. Green Rush Consulting is a service-based operation with no proprietary technology platform, no software product, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities — its core deliverable is human advisory expertise. The firm claims a track record of winning over 100 cannabis business licenses across 14 US states and internationally in Europe, Canada, and South America, and reports cumulative experience with more than 1,000 cannabis companies since inception.

Green Rush Consulting generates revenue through professional services engagements on a consultation-based, quote-driven pricing model with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Distribution is direct-to-client: prospective customers are captured through the company website (contact forms, a Calendly consultation booking link, and the listed phone number 702-533-4899), with no channel partners, resellers, or institutional sales motion described. The firm is a small LLC (1-10 employees) with no disclosed outside funding, no M&A activity, no parent company, and no published management roster. Its competitive positioning rests on a long operating history, multi-jurisdictional licensing experience, and a network of cannabis industry subject matter experts, rather than on technology or scale advantages.
