Our Founders

Prior to starting Nabis, Vince began his career as an engineer at Microsoft before founding a software company called Scaphold, which was later acquired by Amazon. Jun started as an engineer at Facebook before founding an artificial intelligence company called Allganize.

Our Values

Obsess over the customer

Think from the customer’s perspective and work backwards. Build long-term partnerships, even if it means sacrificing short-term gains. Embody high standards and constantly raise the bar. We earn our partners’ trust by doing hard things well.

Have a clear vision

Start with the end goal in mind. Define. Define. Define. Once your vision is clear, the optimal solution will be revealed. By communicating simple clear goals, visionaries become magnetic.

Execute relentlessly

Make big promises and over-deliver. Set the goal and focus on the most important problems, not the most urgent. Be an expert and work with other experts to solve problems with speed, accountability, and commitment. Rapidly learn from your mistakes.

Focus on the bottom line

Achieve more with less. Leaders are rewarded for resourcefulness and innovation. Leverage constraints to find creative and efficient solutions. Scalably and sustainably deliver the best products at the lowest cost.

Have the right attitude

Think like an owner — we do what we say. We are all entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry and we respect the intense struggle of the entrepreneurial process. We know that without the entrepreneurs in this industry, we have no business. Win the right way and be competitive, but stay humble.

Lead together

Leaders develop other leaders into smart, humble, hard-working, and collaborative people. Help others understand the "why" behind every decision and value. Be able to teach the subject and have empathy and examples to explain it.
