Friday Funny: Pros and Cons of Microsoft Getting into the Weed Business
Microsoft announced last week that it is entering the cannabis business, the first major tech company to publicly do so. (Oracle has reportedly been working with the cannabis biz in New York for awhile.) The software behemoth is partnering with Kind Financial, which makes tools to help cannabis companies navigate all the red tape and regulations they encounter. Kind’sSeed to Sale service will be available via its Azure cloud computing platform.
