Ruben Seyde
CEO
Born and raised in Fitchburg, Ruben is a life long resident of Massachusetts. He graduated from Boston University and years of experience in law, accounting, business development, sales, branding, and much more. He worked for various law firms, Marriott International, Macy’s Corp, and the NCAA, among other corporate and small businesses. Most recently, Ruben started doing cannabis consulting, which is how Delivered Inc Cannabis Consulting was born.
Ruben entered the cannabis industry 7 years ago as a caregiver for medical patients. Since then, he’s had the opportunity to work alongside some of the best cannabis operators in Massachusetts and the country. Ruben is also a participant of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission’s Social Equity (SE) Program. His drive to network has put him in contact with experienced and emerging operators in the industry, regulators and Commission members, and everyone in between.
Afters spending years learning the ins and outs of cannabis operations, Ruben applied for his first license in 2019; a 55-acre grow facility. With the help of his business partner, they secured a location, won a Host Community Agreement (HCA), and were days away from receiving their Provisional License when the COVID-19 Pandemic struck and brought the economy to a halt. As a result, they lost their funding but not their ambition. As an SE participant, Ruben pivoted and applied for and received Pre-Certification status for his latest startup, Delivered Inc, a recreational home delivery company.
