Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the New York State Market Entry Accelerator by Dopestr
What’s included in the $10K onboarding fee?

Your setup fee covers everything you need to enter the market:

  • NYS compliance support (packaging, labeling, onboarding)
  • Retail outreach and placement into up to 20 dispensaries
  • Sampling campaign design and support
  • Market readiness audit
  • Sales enablement materials (scripts, decks, training)
  • Account setup and forecasting support
The market test and validation phase typically runs 8–12 weeks. This includes onboarding, outreach, product placement, sell-through tracking, and retail/consumer feedback collection.
Once demand is proven, we initiate full launch planning. You’ll receive a formal revenue share agreement with projected scale timelines and clear performance terms. Dopestr continues to support sales, marketing, and events.
You do. Dopestr is not a white-label manufacturer or brand aggregator. Our role is strategic and operational—your brand remains yours in full.
Dopestr earns only after you do. Post-validation, we participate via top-line revenue share tied to distribution and marketing support. Terms vary by product and scale goals and are mutually agreed upon in advance.
No. We provide scalable contract manufacturing with vetted NYS partners. If you have a preferred supply chain, we’re happy to collaborate. If not, we handle sourcing and production.
We evaluate brands in all major product categories including flower, pre-rolls, edibles, beverages, tinctures, vapes, and wellness SKUs. However, we only onboard a few non-competing brands per quarter to preserve focus.
Yes. Brands in the program often use results from the validation phase (retail placements, sales data, consumer feedback) as part of investor decks or funding conversations.
We’re not passive. Dopestr acts as your go-to-market partner: driving strategy, execution, compliance, and growth. We provide the people, process, and platform for you to scale in NY fast and with confidence.
Each brand goes through a pre-audit process. We assess product readiness, differentiation, and operational viability. If we can’t add value or don’t believe we can help you win, we don’t proceed. Our resources go only to brands we can stand behind.
You’ll have a dedicated team including market strategists, field reps, and compliance advisors. We also support you with data dashboards, retail insights, and ongoing brand development recommendations.
Yes—just ask. We’re happy to connect you with a brand who has gone through our NY accelerator.
