Himalaya’s cannabis social network debuts new features—ready for the artificial intelligence paradigm of chatGPT.
FREMONT, CA: “We've been quietly building Kanab. Club since 2019 anticipating the day that cannabis would reach a tipping point for mainstream adoption and advertising spend to target the estimated 250 million participants in the global cannabis industry. Yesterday's launch of targeted cannabis advertising by mainstream social media and certain government actions in the Senate regarding cannabis legalization or approval may signal imminent inflection. What's even more exciting is Himalaya owns the code to the site, literally built from scratch on the latest and greatest technologies, which means we are well positioned to copy and reskin the site for any other vertical in the world and fragment Facebook's one-size-fits-all model," says Vik Grover, Himalayas CEO. Himalaya Technologies provides investors with an update on www.kanab.club, a wholly-owned social network for cannabis consumers.
"Technology ownership means we can quickly insert new technologies such as ChatGPT and artificial intelligence into the site and rapidly build a unique value proposition while leveraging coding investments across multiple social networks to achieve economies of scope and scale. This will not be your parents' social network," adds Grover.
