About
Mika Unterman founded Apical in 2019 as what Highly Capitalized described in March 2022 as an ethical cannabis collective, advancing a more inclusive, sustainable and socially responsible cannabis industry. Its work is impact metrics: helping companies evaluate non-financial capital, then running them through ESG pilots that demonstrate a return and prepare them for impact investment. Apical has partnered with Friendlier and Regenerative Waste Labs to move clients past measurement into practice, including reusable case packaging and consumer packaging disclosure. Unterman took the TechTO stage for a previous employer, WalkMe, in June 2017.
Backers
No outside investment is on the public record; Apical is described as a founder-led consultancy and collective.
