A Brief Background

Overview

Henry was born in Honduras and he came to the US when he was 12 years old. Having never met his father and being raised by a single mother, Henry has had a life with its set of challenges. Henry attended Miami Dade College for two years while working at a local dry cleaner, his first job out of high school.

He started his first business as a grant writing consultant, but it failed due to the 2008-09 recession. Today, Henry Calix has established himself as an ingenious businessman with great potential. He has multiple flourishing businesses like P3r$Pec71vE PODCAST, Calix Fashion, and Calix Online Financial, as well as Weedsies Online Marketplace.

His venture, Weedsies Online Marketplace, is worth mentioning. It is an online marketplace exclusively catering to those who want to sell and consume the plant, which was previously taboo in American society. Weedsies has established itself as a technology company redefining the US cannabis industry with innovation and technology. Henry launched the company’s website on 4/20/20 (Weed Day) and launched Weedsies Mobile on the same day the following year.

Henry Calix was also awarded Business Elite’s “40 under 40” at the award gala held at St. Regis in New York on June 30th. After tirelessly working to achieve his goals, Henry has positioned his company to be the Amazon/Shopify for cannabis retailers and consumers awaiting the federal legalization of the industry.
