Anne Holland Ventures, the parent company of Marijuana Business Daily, and Seattle-based data analytics firm Headset on Thursday announced a new partnership in which MJBizDaily can access Headset’s real-time, retail-derived industry data throughout the United States and Canada.
Through the partnership, Headset and Denver-based MJBizDaily will work together to develop exclusive content for the annual Marijuana Business Factbook as well as new content and information available at MJBizCon, MJBizConNEXT and MJBizConINT’L.
