Jon Cooper founded ebbu™, a disruptive company in the cannabis space that aims to create consistency among its products so that users can expect precise experiences or sensations every time. ebbu is based in Denver, Colorado, and has received accolades in the cannabis industry, the tech angel community and beyond.
After graduating in 1998 from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in Political Science, Jon Cooper worked with Andersen Consulting and a start-up before eventually moving on to join the global strategy team at Level 3 Communications. Jon Cooper always had the ability to approach problems from a different direction and he enjoyed building things. Going forward, Jon Cooper believes his primary sources of revenue will be licensing formulations and genetics.
Thanks to the most advanced scientific team and lab in the U.S. industry, ebbu has made significant strides in changing the relationship between cannabis and the consumer. The science team dedicates countless hours to fine-tuning proprietary recreational formulations for medical and recreational uses. The results: cannabis-derived distilled products with predictable, reliable psychoactive effects. Simply put, consumers know how they can expect to feel depending on what product they choose
For the first three years, ebbu focused on producing THC cannabis products. Now, ebbu has shifted its goals to focus on hemp-derived cannabinoid formulations that can power other people’s medicines and recreational creations. This way, the ebbu brand can serve as a true archetype for the future of cannabis production for dozens of other up-and-coming businesses.
Jon Cooper will be the first to admit that although it’s made leaps and bounds since its initial legalization in Colorado, the cannabis industry is still far from stable. While that presents many challenges, it also motivates him to make the most of his business so that they can set a standard that will be emulated for decades to come.
Jon Cooper was a tech entrepreneur with 20+ years of experience in marketing and sales before he entered the cannabis industry. He and his team developed ebbu’s patented, lab-tested and science-based platform to enable the next generation of sophisticated cannabis companies. They focus on transforming the cannabis product supply line with superior genetics that can increase yields of rare cannabinoids, licensing their technologies to businesses around the world, and creating proprietary cannabis formulations.
Since its founding, ebbu has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg News, HBO Vice, PBS Newshour, Fast Company and many more. The company’s revolutionary approach to standardizing cannabis products, coupled with their exciting business partnerships, have put them in the spotlight time and time again. Jon himself has been interviewed by outlets such as Civilized.life and Culture Magazine.
Now, as they take a more global approach to their work by licensing their research and technology to others, their momentum will only continue to grow. Some of their most recent partnerships include an exciting collaboration with Blue Moon Belgian White creator Keith Villa (now the founder of CERIA BEVERAGES) to help him create cannabis-infused craft beer, and a partnership with Hardy Boy Farms to push the frontiers of hemp research and cultivation in a new indoor facility.
