Linder founded Meadow in 2014 — among the first tech companies built for legal cannabis — delivering the point-of-sale, compliance, and logistics infrastructure that hundreds of California dispensaries now rely on to navigate track-and-trace mandates and fragmented state regulations.
Canaan Linder is the Founder and CEO of Meadow, a technology platform providing point-of-sale, compliance, and logistics software for cannabis dispensaries and delivery services.
Linder founded Meadow in 2014, making it one of the first technology companies dedicated to the legal cannabis industry. The platform helps cannabis retailers manage sales, inventory, compliance reporting, and delivery operations-all within the complex regulatory environment that varies by state and municipality. Meadow has served hundreds of cannabis retailers across California and other legal markets. Linder's early entry into cannabis technology positioned Meadow as a pioneer in building the digital infrastructure necessary for a regulated cannabis industry to function efficiently. His work addresses the unique challenges cannabis businesses face, including banking restrictions, complex tax structures, and track-and-trace compliance requirements. By providing purpose-built technology for these challenges, Meadow enables dispensary operators to focus on serving customers rather than navigating bureaucracy.
