Empowering Communities Through Cannabis Licensing
Vince Field is not your average cannabis consultant. He doesn’t look for publicity and doesn’t build an empire; instead, he builds opportunity. Since 2017, he has assisted more than 100 entrepreneurs in 11 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands in fulfilling their dream of owning a cannabis business.
His work resides at the nexus of strategy, equity, and integrity. Each license that he encounters has only one objective – to ensure that those who were historically denied a chance in the industry get a fair start.
Results-Based Approach
Success for Vince is not measured in spreadsheets but by storefronts and growth facilities that now proliferate across the country. The success he has brought his clients includes victories in licensing in the most difficult states in the country: New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Alabama. These states award only a few licenses each year.
In addition to being an accomplished paperpusher, he assists clients with real estate choices, investor readiness, build-outs, and launches. In his current role, he has successfully implemented 8 dispensaries and secured over $1.8 million in forgivable loans for small business owners – evidence that equity can be both moral and efficient.
Why Social Equity Matters
For Vince, cannabis reform is more than a policy consideration – it’s a responsibility. The war on drugs has had a lasting negative impact on families and community structures that his work seeks to mend.
That’s why Vince doesn’t charge his clients who come from the world of social equity any initial fees or success fees. That’s because every penny his clients save on consulting services goes towards hiring staff and reinvesting in the community.
The Mission Ahead
As the cannabis industry matures, it appears that Vince Field stands ready to lead the industry towards a position that balances compliance with compassion, and success that goes far beyond profit. Whether in limited license states or new markets around the world, his vision remains the same: helping good people build great companies that endure.
