Meet the Team Behind GrowWise
One person. 134 AI agents. A live database with 18,786 real businesses. Building the future of cannabis technology from the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Luke Alvarez
Solo founder building an 11-entity ecosystem from Rapid City, South Dakota. What started as a cannabis SaaS platform became something much bigger: a consortium connecting technology, media, education, real estate, and community development across the Black Hills region.
Using Claude Code agent swarms, Luke has orchestrated 134+ AI agents across 34 sprints to produce what would typically require a 50-person team. The result: 123+ content files, 8 production websites, a live CRM with 18,786 cannabis businesses, 134 active deals worth $99.6M pipeline, and competitive intelligence on 7 major POS vendors.
"One person + AI agents = 255-person output. That is not a slogan. It is our operating model."
The AI Agent Swarm
Each sprint deploys 4 parallel agents under an Opus coordinator. They research, write, build, and analyze simultaneously — completing in minutes what takes traditional teams weeks.
The 51 = 255 Story
Most cannabis tech companies need 200-500 employees to run their operation. Dutchie has laid off hundreds. Flowhub burned through $50M. The industry model is broken.
GrowWise operates differently. By integrating AI agents into every workflow — from code generation to competitive research to customer support — each human team member produces 5x their normal output.
51 staff members, augmented by AI, deliver the output of 255. That is not future speculation. It is how we built everything you see today: one founder, 105+ AI agents, 72 hours.
