About
Budist is a California startup building the first social review platform for cannabis products. First Factory took the product from ideation to implementation, embedding a UX/UI designer from day one and choosing technologies built for fast release cycles, low maintenance, and scale as the community grew.
Challenge, approach, and impact
A first-of-its-kind product with no playbook to follow
Budist's founders had deep cannabis industry and software experience but needed a technical partner to take their social review concept from idea to a scalable, credible product fast enough to establish market position before competitors could.
