Founder: Tommy Kelly
About the Founder
Tommy graduated from SBCC with an AA in Business and received his Entrepreneurship Certificate. Since then, he’s sold his jewelry at the 2016 Emerald Cup, been featured in the 2017 July issue of High Times Magazine, & recently released his new line of 24k gold jewelry at the Cannabis Wedding Expo in February of 2018. He’s now focusing on marketing strategies for CannaCentrix and creating a separate line to wholesale.
Attempting to turn an idea into a sellable product within 16 weeks during the Enterprise Launch course gave me the extra push I needed to start my own business. Competing against my classmates while being mentored through the Entrepreneurship Program made me decide it was now or never to pursue my dreams of becoming an entrepreneur.
Tommy Kelly's Success Story
CannaCentrix is a first-mover in applying a specialized manufacturing process to cannabis leaves (a by-product from the cannabis industry), whereby they first preserve the leaves and then electroform plate them in a jewelry lab. Because each cannabis leaf is unique, no two CannaCentrix pieces are exactly alike.
The jewelry is packaged in a black piano-wood finished box and includes an authenticity card that includes the buyer’s name, specific cannabis strain, and its unique production number. This presentation is similar to a limited-edition art piece and provides customers a luxurious product experience. CannaCentrix pieces provide cannabis connoisseurs a way to attract and connect with like-minded members of this growing community.
