Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

Boulder-based Surna makes products that help monitor, control and address the energy and resource use of indoor cannabis cultivation facilities.

Company officials, in their earnings report stated that, in addition to the revenue growth, operating expenses decreased significantly, thanks in part to one of the company’s main products moving out of the research and development phase and into production.

During the quarter, the company secured a $725,000 contract with a Las Vegas cultivator and also received four design patents for its technology. Cash on hand for the company, as of March 31, stood at $1.1 million, up from $331,000 at the end of December.
