Premium cannabis-infused edibles MoreLess
In 2010, Scott Palmer and Kristi Knoblich Palmer embarked on a journey to transform the cannabis edibles market. Frustrated by the inconsistent quality of products available, they founded Kiva Confections in Oakland, California. Their mission was clear: to create high-quality, precisely dosed cannabis-infused confections.
Kiva Confections quickly gained recognition for its premium ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. The company set a new standard in the industry, offering a range of products from chocolates to gummies, all infused with carefully measured THC and CBD.
Over the years, Kiva Confections expanded its product line and distribution, becoming a leading name in cannabis edibles. The company's commitment to quality and innovation attracted significant attention, leading to a total funding of $8.56 million over several rounds.
Today, Kiva Confections stands as a testament to the power of dedication and innovation in the cannabis industry. By focusing on quality and consumer trust, Scott and Kristi Palmer have positioned Kiva as a pioneer in the field, setting the stage for future growth and success.
