Companies founded

“I’ve spent most of my life building businesses, creating products, and pursuing ideas that other people sometimes thought were a little crazy.”

Along the way, I’ve founded companies, developed award-winning CBD products, raised more than $5 million in investment capital, and generated over $10 million in CBD product sales.

But my entrepreneurial journey started long before CBD became an industry.

AlsoDan also serves as Chief Commercial Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of Perpetua Bioscience, bringing additional experience in commercial strategy, plant biotechnology, and business development.

From the Grateful Dead to Wall Street

Some of my earliest business adventures involved traveling with the Grateful Dead, making and selling my own glass art, and eventually opening several smoke shops called A Piece Full Place.

I’ve always loved creating things, connecting with people, and turning ideas into businesses. That passion eventually led me into the hemp and cannabis industries.

I founded Imbue Botanicals, where I personally formulated our award-winning cannabinoid products. More than 10 years later, the company is still in business, with products reaching over 500 pharmacy shelves.

I also founded Hempshire Group, a publicly traded hemp company, and Mountain Smokes, a hemp-based alternative to traditional cigarettes.

I’ve been fortunate to build businesses, bring products to market, raise millions in capital, and work with some incredible people along the way. But for me, the excitement has always come from creating something new.

Why Balance Beans? It started with a joint and a cup of coffee.

Here’s something about me that hasn’t changed in decades. One of my favorite things in the world has always been enjoying a great cup of coffee while smoking a joint.

There’s just something about that ritual I’ve always loved. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the moment to slow down, and the simple pleasure of enjoying two plants that have been part of my life for years.

After spending decades working with cannabis and cannabinoids, I began thinking about bringing those two worlds together in a different way.

Two plants, one ritual

Why not create a truly exceptional coffee infused with CBD?

Not just another CBD product. Not just another bag of coffee.

Something thoughtfully crafted, made with incredible beans, and built around quality, consistency, and a genuine appreciation for both plants.

And when the opportunity came to develop Balance Beans using premium Costa Rican coffee, it felt like a natural next chapter.

Why Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is a place where coffee is more than a beverage. It’s part of the country’s heritage, culture, and identity.

The opportunity to work with exceptional Costa Rican coffee and combine it with innovative CBD infusion technology brought together two things I’m genuinely passionate about.

My goal with Balance Beans is simple: make outstanding coffee, create something different, and build a company that respects both the people and the environment behind every cup.

That means pursuing responsible sourcing, thoughtful packaging, and a commitment to giving back as the business grows.

Finding my balance

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from a lifetime of entrepreneurship, it’s that success isn’t just about how much money you make or how many companies you build.

It’s about enjoying the journey, staying curious, creating things you believe in, and finding a little balance along the way.

That’s what Balance Beans means to me. It’s personal. It’s a little unconventional. And it’s something I’m genuinely excited to share.

Questions

Good toknow.

Half the energizing qualities of coffee, half the calming clarity of CBD. Caffeine wakes you up; CBD keeps you centered — so you get the lift without the jitters or the crash.

No. Our CBD is THC-free — it contains no THC, the compound in cannabis that causes a high — so Balance Beans won’t give you a marijuana high. What you get is coffee’s energy with CBD’s calm and clarity — focused, balanced, and fully yourself.

Our honey-flavored whole bean coffee delivers 50mg of CBD in every cup.

That’s the point of balance. Caffeine wakes you up, and CBD keeps you centered — smooth, sustained energy without the anxiety, jitters, or crash.

Yes. CBD helps regulate stress hormones, so you can enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up and stay energized without affecting your sleep cycle.

Balance Beans exclusively uses organic, fair-trade beans and eco-friendly packaging — and every pound sold results in a tree being planted.
