CSD16
CSD16 (formerly Canopy San Diego) ran a 16-week, mentorship-driven cohort program for cannabis-ancillary startups across grow tech, payments, compliance, and packaging, launched in 2016 as a sister program to CanopyBoulder. It has since evolved into a seed-stage fund holding equity stakes in its 16 graduate companies rather than running new cohorts.

Notable
Originally Canopy San Diego, founded and led locally by CEO Eric Gomez. Its original website (canopysd.com) has since lapsed into a parked domain, and its former partner program CanopyBoulder no longer appears to be online either โ CSD16's LinkedIn page is the most current confirmed source on its status.
