Matthew Anderson, the Founder and CEO of Vanguard Scientific Systems, a systems and solutions provider servicing the botanical industry, is this week’s guest on The Green Rush! Launched by Matthew in 2014, Vanguard’s mission is to deliver the capability to manufacture the highest quality, most valued, oils and extracts routinely and cost effectively in the cannabis and hemp industries.

Anne, who was joined by Nick for this conversation, will sit down with Matthew for a deep dive on how his company is using cutting edge technologies to help cannabis producers develop and create the next generation cannabis products that consumers will enjoy. In addition, they touch on how the industry capital crunch is affecting ancillary service providers, Matthew’s insights on how other states can follow Oregon’s lead when it comes to promoting innovation and Vanguard’s work with advocacy groups like Students for Sensible Drug Policy. Matthew also shared about his days as a “moonshiner” while in college and how that sparked his desire to be an entrepreneur.

Matthew is an incredibly well-spoken individual who’s experience and understanding of the knitty gritty of the cannabis space is something all of our listeners will enjoy.
