Altum
Altum is a fast-growing company that was created to bring the life-changing benefits of cannabinoids back to the Asia-Pacific. Like cannabis, our story began in Asia, where we launched Found, the region’s first CBD store and cafe. Opening in the midst of the pandemic, we brought a critically needed antidote as Hong Kong reported some of the world’s highest stress levels. Over the next two years, we made a significant impact – launching dozens of CBD and CBG products across 3 brands and 6 retail locations. Shortly after launching our Hong Kong presence, and with investment from NASDAQ-listed Village Farms, Altum expanded to the Australian market with our wholly-owned brand, Kind Medical. Offering carefully selected cultivars to meet a variety of patient needs across a growing range of formats, Kind is making high quality medicinal cannabis more accessible and affordable for Australians.
