About Gateway Incubator
Gateway is California's premier cannabis business accelerator program, and the first offering of its kind anywhere. As a funding accelerator and coworking space located in San Francisco's Bay Area, Gateway is providing cannabis entrepreneurs exposure to the mentorship, capital, and expectations proven in Silicon Valley. Entrepreneurs in the cannabis space have great passion and creativity for the products they produce. Our goal is to not only cultivate great entrepreneurs in the space, but to create world-class business leaders. This is what it will take to bring the cannabis industry to the mainstream.
Our location, office, and growing network of mentors, investors, and partners are all deliberately designed to create the best entrepreneurs in this quickly evolving market. We see value in the cross-pollination of industries, such as cannabis, tech, and professional services. Gateway is located in The Leviathan Building in Oakland, which is known for its unique design that we feel promotes creativity and collaboration. By operating in Oakland, the birthplace of the cannabis industry in the US, we will be part of the hotbed of innovation in legal cannabis.
Gateway was launched on November 20, 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Ben Larson (@pitchtoben) and Carter Laren (@claren).
