ÜBER DIESE EPISODE

The $82B Opportunity Investors Keep Missing w/ Q. Nicole Vanderhorst | Ep. 46

Episode 46 of #Ecosysteming features a very special guest as host Thom Ruhe sits down with Q. Nicole Vanderhorst, founder and CEO of WH Farms Co., to discuss her journey from commercial real estate to building a vertically integrated botanical science company.

They explore misconceptions surrounding industrial hemp, the challenges of navigating regulation and capital, and WH Farms’ strategy for competing in a market expected to reach $82 billion in the next several years.

Q. Nicole also shares her perspective on resilience, self-care, and building a North Carolina company with global reach. An NC IDEA SEED ($50K) grant recipient, she reflects on the entrepreneurial journey that has taken WH Farms from early-stage funding to its current $1 million raise.
