Who Is CanaWho And Why Was It Created?

CanaWho is a mobile app created to be your cannabis space for you to learn the cannabis basics and more, explore legal Canadian cannabis products, brands, and retailers near you, connect with people in our community, and express yourself by sharing your cannabis experiences. Our mission is to encourage your relationship with cannabis and ignite the confidence within you.

CanaWho was founded by Pedro Correia who saw a huge gap in the market, meaning a lack of community-based cannabis spaces that focus on experiences and learning rather than driving sales. Pedro first noticed this gap when he set out to find information about a specific product. He was disappointed to find that there were only tiny bits of info spread across the internet but no resource dedicated to informing the canna-curious and cannabis lovers or giving them a platform to create open dialogues.

“I had to hunt to find this information, and I thought it would be very difficult for someone who is new to cannabis to seek this information and make a safe/confident decision for themselves. So, I wanted to create a space for consumers to come and find this information here on CanaWho” - Pedro Correia

Pedro’s passion for cannabis drove him to create a platform that would help Canadian consumers build a strong cannabis foundation. CanaWho is dedicated to creating a confident cannabis community here in Canada, where consumers can learn, share, and grow together. With everyone's shared cannabis experiences, our platform’s simple and clear product information and our research-backed media, when combined, enables you to confidently make informed cannabis decisions that are best for you. CanaWho does not facilitate the sale of cannabis because our platform is focused on being Your Cannabis Space.

Now that Pedro was able to conceptualize exactly what he wanted to create, he started exploring ways to bring his vision to life.

How did CanaWho come to life?

Pedro doesn’t come from a tech background so he knew he needed to find a way to learn what it takes to develop an app. He searched on Eventbrite for classes until he found the perfect solution - a free mobile app clinic training hosted by Centennial College and

WIMTACH (wearable, interactive, and mobile technology access center in health). After just two meetings with Centennial College and WIMTACH, Pedro decided to partner with them to create CanaWho.

Centennial College and WIMTACH had access to government grants which would make the development of CanaWho more affordable. The environment was welcoming, informative, and supportive for those who were less familiar with tech which appealed to Pedro since many tech communities can be intimidating to beginners.

The partnership had the opportunity to collaborate with students - new professionals with fresh ideas to contribute to CanaWho’s development while they get an opportunity to gain professional experience before finishing their programs. Finally, by bringing a cannabis technology startup to an educational institution, CanaWho would be part of destigmatizing cannabis. It was a win-win situation and after years of hard work, CanaWho is set to launch in November 2021.
