the method
Meraki Enterprise isn’t your typical cannabis consulting firm—because this isn’t a typical industry. We believe great cannabis businesses don’t happen by accident. They’re intentionally designed, operationally sound, and rooted in purpose. That’s where we come in.
We specialize in turning uncertainty into structure and burnout into momentum. Whether you’re opening your first dispensary, scaling to multiple sites, stabilizing a struggling operation, or preparing for an audit, we don’t just hand you a binder of SOPs and walk away. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, embedding into your operations to ensure every system we design is sustainable, practical, and tailored to your mission.
Led by nationally recognized cannabis strategist Chelsea Mulligan, Meraki brings more than a decade of hands-on cannabis expertise and involvement in over 100 licenses spanning retail, cultivation, and manufacturing. Chelsea’s journey, from patient advocate to policy influencer to executive operator—gives her a 360° understanding of the industry’s challenges and opportunities. She’s written portions of the Hemp Model Code, advised international regulatory bodies, and opened or triaged over 80 dispensaries nationwide. Simply put, we know how to make cannabis businesses work and keep them working.
We blend compliance with culture, strategy with soul, and structure with humanity, because the strongest cannabis companies aren’t just compliant, they’re operationally excellent, scalable, and built around people who believe in what they’re doing.
Our work is guided by four core principles:
- Integrity – Doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. Every system and decision is rooted in honesty and transparency.
- Clarity – Transforming complex regulations and messy operations into clear, actionable systems teams can actually use.
- Empowerment – Equipping people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to own their success long after we’re gone.
- Collaboration – Partnering with clients, teams, and communities because the best outcomes are built together.
If you want a cannabis business that is audit-ready every day, scalable without breaking, and built to thrive in a constantly changing landscape, Meraki Enterprise is the partner you need in your corner.
the Manifesto
At Meraki Enterprise, we believe a cannabis business should be just as strong in its systems as it is in its culture. In this industry, one without the other doesn’t last. Solid processes without a healthy culture lead to burnout and turnover; great culture without structure results in inconsistency and risk. The strongest operators have both and that’s exactly what we help build.
We create compliant, scalable, and people-centered operations by designing tailored processes that fit the way your business truly works. No cookie-cutter templates. No copy-paste SOPs from another market. Every workflow, every policy, every training program is developed with your unique market conditions, licensing requirements, and team structure in mind.
We don’t just hand over recommendations and walk away, we embed ourselves in your operations. We work alongside your leadership and staff, aligning every department, removing redundancies, and closing compliance gaps before they become liabilities. We simplify what’s overly complex, eliminate unnecessary steps, and implement solutions that are both audit-ready and operationally efficient.
Our goal is to make compliance second nature, not a constant stressor. That means removing guesswork, building systems that your team can follow without hesitation, and ensuring those systems evolve as regulations, products, and markets change. The solutions we leave behind are designed to last long after our engagement ends, giving you a framework you can grow with for years.
Every decision, every process, every engagement at Meraki Enterprise is driven by integrity, intention, and heart. We know that when good operators thrive, the entire cannabis industry becomes stronger. More compliant, more sustainable, and more respected. And that’s a mission worth building systems for.
the Way
At Meraki Enterprise, we know no two cannabis licenses or the people running them are exactly alike. What works for a high-volume urban dispensary won’t work the same way for a boutique cultivation or a multi-state operator. That’s why every solution we deliver is built around the unique needs, goals, and challenges of your business.
