Braingrid and R2G Global Announce Strategic Alliance Agreement

TORONTO, May 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) -  Braingrid Corporation (“Braingrid”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with R2G Global LLC (“Rent2Grow”), a global company that empowers urban cultivators with a state-of-the-art turnkey pod solution that helps eliminate the danger and guesswork associated with cultivating cannabis at home, including rental apartments and condominiums.

The strategic three-year agreement enables Braingrid to exclusively provide its sensing and control capabilities for the Rent2Grow pod worldwide. Rent2Grow intends to meet the needs of one percent of the cannabis consumer market by offering what they call “Empowered DIY (do-it-yourself) Cannabis Solutions.” Braingrid is leveraging their experience gained with large commercial cannabis growers to support Rent2Grow’s community grow model.

“We are excited about our partnership with Braingrid,” said Richard Lamb, chairman of Rent2Grow. “The R2G pods, coupled with Braingrid’s technology, empower cultivators to grow, harvest and store their produce on-site, or remotely, via the secure app. Consumers can choose a turnkey autopilot approach or control the process on a more intimate level. Our partnership with Braingrid will provide our customers with the flexibility to have granular-level control if they want it!”

Rent2Grow plans to launch a minimum of 15,000 pods by 2021 and expects demand to increase that number to as much as double. If that level is achieved, revenue potential in the third year for Braingrid exceeds CAD$10M together with service fees exceeding CAD$300K/month. Braingrid will also earn an equity interest in R2G Global LLC and its affiliate Rent2Grow Canada Inc.

“Lighting, temperature and humidity levels are critical to growing,” said Matt Skynner, president and COO of Braingrid. “That’s why Rent2Grow and Braingrid’s combined offering is so important. Braingrid’s Sentroller will monitor and control critical parameters to guarantee the crops are never at risk.”

Rent2Grow and Braingrid will be exhibiting their product at the Lift & Co. Cannabis Expo in Toronto May 25-27 where growers will be able to see the “Powered by Braingrid” Rent2Grow pod.

"We are proud to have a strong Canadian cannabis partner in Braingrid as we lead the curve ahead of legalization and look forward to the opportunity of providing this solution in designated facilities, in the near future," said Dean McCall, president of Rent2Grow Canada.
