Cannabis Home Delivery with Lantern's Meredith Mahoney

Meredith discusses her deep expertise in brand building, creating an on-demand cannabis marketplace and home-delivery service with the team behind Drizly, and Lantern's commitment to social equity.

Meredith Mahoney, President, Lantern

On-demand delivery of common household goods, groceries and meals has become part of everyday life, especially since the start of the pandemic. As consumer demand for cannabis continues to climb, more legal business and industry leaders are ramping up efforts to claim their own stake in this critical retail space. Lantern, one of the few on-demand cannabis delivery marketplaces in the industry, has taken a unique approach to building a scalable platform that also addresses specific consumer needs. In this episode, Meredith Mahoney, President of Lantern, discusses how her team is making the e-commerce experience more approachable for new consumers, the importance of building out a user-friendly marketplace, and outlines tangible steps the company is taking to support social equity candidates in the industry.

Meredith Mahoney: How will cannabis companies claim their stake in the delivery economy?

Whether we’re talking couches, alcohol, or cannabis, a digital direct-to-consumer model requires flexibility and strategy. Jarod Duggins talked to Meredith Mahoney, President of Lantern, a cannabis delivery company. Prior to finding her Career in Cannabis, Meredith worked for Wayfair helping found and run a few of their in-house brands before leaving to become a part of an East Coast alcohol delivery company named Drizly. After very successfully navigating the tumultuous terrain surrounding the alcohol industry in their home state, one of the founders of Drizly then decided to branch out in order to start a partner delivery, servicing the cannabis consumer. Jarod and Meredith discuss how experience from other direct-to-consumer businesses helped her team successfully get into the cannabis industry. If you’re an entrepreneur interested in a delivery business that qualifies for social equity programs in Massachusetts, you probably want to stick around and hear what today’s guest has to offer.

Social Equity & Local Delivery - A Great Place to Start | Meredith Mahoney of Lantern

With the onset of the COVID-19, lifestyles all over the world have changed in major ways. More than ever before, people are relying on delivery services to get their groceries, meals from their favorite restaurants, alcoholic beverages, and a whole lot of other things. However, for many reasons, some of which might be obvious, cannabis is a particularly tricky product to legally deliver.  Meredith Mahoney is facing these challenges head-on. She’s the president of Lantern, a cannabis business solely owned by Drizly. Currently serving customers in Massachusetts, Lantern helps people shop by dispensary, find cannabis products suited to their unique needs, and safely and legally purchase directly from shops from the convenience of their doorstep.  Today, Meredith joins the podcast to walk us through how Lantern got started, the challenges of building an online business in a highly regulated space, and what the company is doing to grow over the next several years.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Why Lantern, as a software company and not a delivery business, doesn’t need to be licensed on a state-by-state basis in order to operate. How a business like Lantern differs from food delivery vendors in terms of pricing structure. How Lantern finds partners, retailers, and dispensaries to work with - and how social equity and economic empowerment are part of the company’s mission. What makes using Lantern a better experience than most dispensaries’ own websites.  Why Lantern hasn’t yet rolled out in states like Colorado - and how federal restrictions help protect the company from competitors.
