CRB Monitor

CRB Monitor is a cannabis and digital assets corporate intelligence provider founded in 2014 by Steven Kemmerling, who serves as founder and CEO. The company is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Its customers are financial institutions and capital providers that need to identify and manage risk around cannabis-related businesses, and it applies the same database approach to digital assets. A Cannabis Licensing News feed, resources and events accompany the database.

The core product is a standardized, de-duplicated database of cannabis industry participants sorted into risk-based tiers, with profiles of licensed businesses and their beneficial owners. Profiles carry license details, relationships, notes and sources, and users can map links between entities and find shared owners. Searches filter by jurisdiction, medical or recreational status, business type and status. Data feeds from more than 100 licensing agencies. The data can be loaded into existing filter systems, and it is licensed into RiskScout's due diligence platform.

Banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, insurers, money services businesses and casinos use it for relationship and transaction filtering, initial due diligence and ongoing monitoring, while investors and lenders use it for business development, underwriting and market research. Supporting documents can be reviewed for reporting and case support. CRB Monitor does not publish pricing or coverage by state; access is arranged through the company, which notes there are no limits or extra charges per search.
