What Makes Us Different

CEAD was founded by industry veterans who’ve sold over $150M worth of equipment and services into cultivation. We understand the pain points on both sides: wasted time, misaligned expectations, and costly delays. That’s why our RFPs are owner-backed and project-ready — not speculative.

We help vendors avoid:

  • Commission-hungry reps misrepresenting your brand
  • Consultants adding hidden markups or bundling your product
  • Competing with ghost bids or spec-only designs
