Drop Delivery is featured in The Startup Investor: Want To Invest In This Company? Click the button below to get started… INVEST IN DROP DELIVERY NOW! (HTTP://STAGING.EQUIFUNDCFP.FLYWHEELSITES.COM/DROP/? TRIGGER_REDIRECT=TRUE&ISSUE=688) The “Big Idea” In 60 Seconds With an estimated $146.4 billion up for grabs, the global cannabis market has been one of the most talked about opportunities of the past 5 years. However, for many cannabis investors, the so-called “Green Rush” hasn’t delivered the “life changing gains” many analysts have promised. But thanks to this promising new technology startup, the major problem preventing the cannabis industry from achieving mass-market scale could be solved: Last Mile Delivery. We’ve already seen “last mile” acquisitions by international brands with massive supply chains… In June of 2020, European company “Just Eat Takeaway” reached an agreement to acquire Grubhub for a whopping $7.3 billion. In March of 2020, Costco acquired last-mile specialist Innovel for $1 billion. staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 2/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP Target already owns on-demand delivery service Shipt, and is in the process of acquiring technology assets from same-day delivery service Deliv. And Walmart – determined to compete against Amazon’s same-day delivery capabilities – acquired Parcel in 2017. However, because of the current regulatory regime, cannabis retailers can’t take advantage of the existing “last mile solutions” to deliver a highly in-demand product directly to customers’ doors. That’s why we call this unique challenge “The Last Green Mile.” Billions of dollars have been poured into developing cannabis brands made for both the medical and recreational markets. Massive retail footprints have been established by “multi-state operators.” But as of today, there’s no scalable way to advertise, collect digital payments, and then deliver cannabis products directly to peoples’ doorstep. That’s where Drop Delivery comes in. Drop Delivery’s Proprietary Platform Drop is the first all-in-one platform designed to help cannabis retailers safely – and compliantly – sell cannabis products, collect digital payments, handle supply chain management, and last mile delivery. Not to mention, it does it at an extremely affordable price compared to alternative options. This means this unique software solution is designed to help cannabis retailers achieve higher profit margins under the existing regulatory regime — not under the hopes any meaningful laws will be passed. Year to date, the Drop Delivery software platform is already being used by more than 96,000 retail customers, and has processed more than $6 million in transactions in 2020 across multiple states. The company is seeing 30%+ growth month-over-month across major data points, which include clients, transactions, and marketing engagements. staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 3/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP , , g g g And, the management team has a proven track record in the cannabis space, recently selling its cannabis order ahead platform for dispensaries – Greenlight – after only 9 months of operation. But perhaps the most important trend to consider is America’s rapid shift away from bricks-and-mortar retail locations to a “delivery-first” model. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, we were already seeing consumers prove their willingness to pay a small premium to have items delivered directly to their door… And with the recent development of Marijuana dispensaries being deemed as “essential” by the U.S. Government, not only has the legal cannabis industry posted record sales numbers in 2020… Three states that previously did not allow delivery – Louisiana, Delaware, Utah, and Washington D.C. – now do as a response to COVID-19. In Minnesota and Pennsylvania, while direct delivery isn’t currently allowed, caregivers are allowed to deliver cannabis to multiple patients. And at the time of publishing, there are a total of 21 states – Arkansa, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, parts of Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Vermont – that allow delivery of cannabis products. Now Could Be The Perfect Time To Consider Investing In A Company Uniquely Positioned To Solve “The Last Green Mile.” staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 4/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP Top 5 Reasons To Consider Investing In Drop Delivery REASON #1: The founders have a proven track record of success in the cannabis industry. Vanessa Gabriel, CEO and co-founder of Drop, is also the founder of multiple startups. Most notably, her previous cannabis company, Greenlight, was acquired by a publicly traded cannabis company within 9 months of launching. The entire Greenlight management team is now working together to build Drop Delivery, with goals to take the company all the way to IPO. REASON #2: An existing appetite for last-mile acquisitions. International brands have already proven their willingness to buy companies who can streamline their supply chain and offer increased last mile delivery solutions. This means Drop Delivery could become a potential target for an acquisition by a large “Multi State Operator,” or otherwise receive outside investments for strategic partnerships. REASON #3: The user data could be a goldmine for a potential acquirer While there are other technology solutions in the market today, many of them solve only a small portion of problems facing cannabis retailers today. Integrating these siloed solutions together creates potentially large compliance risks as well as added costs. Drop Delivery is a complete, end-to-end platform that can handle sales and marketing, compliance, digital payments, banking issues, and last mile delivery, and does so at a competitive price. This means there is no data loss between multiple technology solutions, which in turn provides greater opportunities to leverage data and analytics tools to increase proˆts for cannabis retailers. More importantly, the Drop Delivery platform is built on the same infrastructure high- growth tech companies like Uber, Alibaba, and Pinterest all currently use. REASON #4: The company is growing their revenue by 41%, quarter-over- quarter, showing strong growth. Year to date, Drop Delivery has over 96,000 retail customers ordering products through the Drop Delivery ecosystem. More than $6 million in transactions have been processed across multiple states. Cannabis retailers are using this software solution in multiple states, with more new clients coming online each month. staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 5/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP REASON #5: The technology is easily portable into other verticals. Because this platform is designed to operate in the most challenging of regulatory and compliance regimes, it’s logical to suggest other regulated businesses – like pharmacies and liquor stores – could be next to adopt this technology.

TRIGGER_REDIRECT=TRUE&ISSUE=688) Why Now Is The Time To Get In On The Cannabis Mega Trend… For years, promoters have pushed the legal cannabis market as a “once-in-a-lifetime chance to get rich.” But for many investors who hoped to become a “pot stock millionaire“ by betting on speculative penny stocks, the so-called “Green Rush” has been a disappointment. Like many hype-fueled bubbles, these high-flying stocks eventually need to turn their debt-driven growth into sustainable profits. At the time of publishing, many of the publicly traded cannabis companies have plummeted in value… But the fundamental argument for the legal cannabis opportunity remains solid. Here’s why… GROWING MAINSTREAM SUPPORT staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 6/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP The first – and most important – consideration is the growing demand for cannabis products, as well as increasingly positive support from the general public. According to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information: “The ageing US population is providing an unprecedented population of older adults who use recreational drugs.” Among adults 65 and older, cannabis usage is up 250 percent from 2006 to 2013, while adults 50- 65 have increased usage by almost 58 percent. It should come as no surprise to see an increase in usage by people suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, loss of appetite or weight loss, depression, or sleeping disorder… all common conditions as people age. Not to mention the ongoing studies regarding marijuana’s potential uses to treat patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and PTSD staging.equifundcfp.flywheelsites.com/drop/ 7/28 7/8/2020 Drop – Equifund CFP sclerosis, and PTSD. That’s why it’s also not surprising to see 62% of Americans say marijuana should be legal, reflecting a steady increase over the past decade, according to a new Pew Research Center study. INCREASING POLITICAL SUPPORT It also comes as no surprise to see growing support from lawmakers in favor of passing more progressive laws. We’ve even seen long-time marijuana detractors switch sides to support the legalization process In 2012, U.S.

We can’t live without food, which means we cannot live without the venues that provide it. And despite the fact that the grocery industry as a whole has remained relatively stable since its conception, we cannot deny that the way we acquire our groceries has been shifting dramatically over the past ten years. Not only can we still get our groceries the old-fashioned way (by walking through the aisles and grabbing anything that sounds good), we can now receive them via home delivery, through BOPIS, and even at cashierless stores. For even more convenience, we can order online; home delivery and pickup services were available to 90% of all the households in the U.S., up from 81% in 2018.¹ Grocery has a lot to think about, but that’s a good thing. Because food is so popular–and necessary–it isn’t going anywhere. As part of our research efforts, we’ve talked to more than 11,000 consumers in order to find out what they want when it comes to the evolution of grocery.

It is an EPSRC-funded project that began in April 2016 and continues until August 2019. Freight transport currently makes up around 16% of all road vehicle activity in our cities and by 2030, the EU would like to see largely CO2-free logistics systems operating in our urban centres. With van traffic predicted to increase by 20% in London by 2030, and the uptake of alternatively fuelled and electric goods vehicles slow, more radical strategies are needed to reduce the numbers and impacts of freight vehicles in our cities. Working with parcel carriers in London, this project will examine the potential for closer operational collaboration between carriers to reduce urban traffic and energy demand whilst maintaining customer service levels, and evaluate to what extent such relationships can develop naturally within a commercial setting or whether a 3rd party ‘Freight Traffic Controller’ (FTC) would be necessary to ensure equitable distribution of demand across a city.
