Ergrow's relocation to the heart of the cannabis industry's largest playing field allows it to expand product innovation and field testing\, with direct collaboration and input from cultivators and other industry experts.

Their innovative\, elastic bow Trim Scissors allow workers greater dexterity while decreasing hand cramps and wrist strain\, with a focus on the carpal tunnel. \n \n\nErgrow carries a big vision\, one that brought world leaders and major agricultural producers to speak with Mr. Ritchie. When entered into the Gateway Accelerator startup competition in 2016\, Ergrow landed in the Top 15% of over 200 companies from nine countries\, and Brian Ritchie scored close to the top on the application's lengthy aptitude exam. The lines of products waiting to be announced include solutions for cultivation of food and medicine on an international scale. Third-party analysis of Ergrow's strategies and designs / IP have calculated a company value in excess of $100 million within 10 years.\n \n\nCompany CEO and Founder\, Brian Ritchie\, spent his previous career improving ergonomic work conditions for major companies and large corporations at Humanscale. After retirement\, family medical issues turned his attention to medical cannabis. Ritchie then joined a Maine collective and began learning the industry from the bottom up. His keen insights into the human machine and cannabis have spawned over 40 product lines\, scheduled for incremental release over the next few years. The parent company\, Brian Ritchie Designs\, is already attracting partnerships with global reach.\n \n\nThe Launch Party this April 20th will be a who's who of industry insiders\, media\, and investors looking for a glimpse into the future of cannabis.
