What Arcview Consulting does

Arcview Consulting (also doing business as Arcview Management Consulting) is a U.S.-based, vertically-specialized management consulting firm focused exclusively on the cannabis and hemp industries. The firm operates as a business unit within The Arcview Group, an integrated cannabis services platform that also spans market research (The State of Legal Marijuana Markets report), events and experiences, marketing services, and the Arcview Collective Fund. Arcview's practice covers the full operator and investor lifecycle: state licensing and application strategy, operational and compliance planning, real estate and zoning, brand expansion and co-manufacturing, valuations and litigation support, investor readiness and capital advisory, ESG and hemp advisory, and strategic partnerships / M&A / exit readiness. Target clients span new and existing cannabis operators and brands, MSOs and strategic acquirers, license applicants (including social equity candidates), institutional and family-office investors, and ESG-aligned hemp businesses. The team is lean (~8 named professionals) but senior, including former operators from Curaleaf (Kristen Tangarone), Magnolia Wellness and Berkeley Patients Group (Debby Goldsberry), and former advisors from EY and CAPCO (Yan Gindin).

The firm sells customized, quote-based advisory engagements rather than a packaged product; underlying 'technology' is human expertise, relationships, and process rather than a software platform. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements range from à la carte single-mandate work (e.g., a license application in one state) to longer multi-month or multi-year engagements covering full market entry, expansion, or transaction support. Go-to-market is primarily direct B2B field sales, supplemented by content marketing via the firm's industry blog, participation in The Arcview Group's events ecosystem, and referral flows from a strategic alliance network that includes Asia Horizon Group, Cannabis Capital Group, Eighth Revolution, Greentank, and Green Patent Solutions. Customer evidence on the website is drawn from operators such as Santa Fe Farms, Papa Barkley, and Gatekeeper Innovation alongside endorsement quotes from individual founders and CEOs. The firm claims national reach across U.S. states with activity in international cannabis regulatory matters, positioning itself as a specialized alternative to generalist consulting firms for the cannabis and hemp verticals.
