Quotes

"I started Wikileaf back in 2014 because I saw an information void both for cannabis consumers and legal dispensaries. Ever since then, we have remained committed to consumers and partners, striving to be a trusted source of information. It's for that reason that last year, we were one of the first to begin the vital task of eliminating illegal dispensaries and illicit businesses from our platform, ensuring compliance with each jurisdiction's advertising regulations and laws. We work every day to do our small part to ensure that consumers are purchasing safe cannabis products."

-Dan Nelson, Founder and CEO, Wikileaf​​

"We are incredibly proud to see 'WIKI' on the Canadian Securities Exchange board. The teams at Wikileaf and Nesta have worked tirelessly to reach this milestone. Having been involved with many historic firsts in the cannabis space, I believe that Wikileaf's entrance into the public market is a great step forward for the industry as technology companies are an underrepresented asset within the publicly traded cannabis sector. This listing uniquely positions Wikileaf to provide investors with value outside of traditional licensed producers. With new products coming to market in Canada before the end of the year, growing U.S. markets and new international ones, ancillary companies such as Wikileaf should garner more attention as cannabis products evolve into a full range of consumer packaged goods."

-Chuck Rifici, Chair, Wikileaf​​
