About Growth Stalk Holdings

The Cannabis Chapter
Forged the Expertise.
The Technology Chapter Is
Where We Create Lasting Value.

Growth Stalk Holdings Corp is a technology holding company building AI-powered decision intelligence platforms for regulated industries and critical logistics. We are operator-built, founder-led, and executing a strategic transformation from cannabis to technology.

An Honest Starting Point

GrowthStalk entered the cannabis industry with strong conviction. In many ways, we still believe cannabis represents a significant American market opportunity. But belief doesn't change the math — and the math told us something we had to be honest about.

The cannabis industry's regulatory fragmentation, federal banking restrictions, and pricing compression created an environment where the return on invested capital could not justify the opportunity cost. Every dollar we kept in cannabis was a dollar not building our future.

But what cannabis gave us was irreplaceable: deep domain expertise in heavily regulated operations, an understanding of compliance-driven workflows at a visceral level, and — most critically — the products themselves. SolvixLMS was built inside a cannabis extraction lab because its creator needed it to run his own operation. Bishop was built to manage the operational chaos of running a cannabis manufacturing company and a SaaS company simultaneously.

The experience forged the expertise. The expertise became the technology. The technology is what we're taking public.

Why Cannabis, Why Divest,
Why Now

Three structural forces made cannabis a liability rather than an asset for a growth-stage public company.

The ROI Problem

Cannabis pricing compression, regulatory costs, and market fragmentation have eroded margins across the industry. Capital deployed in cannabis operations generates returns that cannot compete with the technology opportunities now available. Every dollar kept in cannabis is a dollar not building the future.

The Capital Markets Problem

Cannabis classification as a Schedule I substance blocks access to institutional investors, mainstream banks, and traditional capital markets. Our cannabis holdings made it functionally impossible to attract the institutional investment required to scale three technology platforms.

The Uplisting Problem

NYSE and NASDAQ listing requirements effectively prohibit companies with active cannabis operations. As long as GrowthStalk held cannabis assets, a major exchange uplisting — and the liquidity, credibility, and institutional access it brings — remained out of reach.

We are not a cannabis company trying to dabble in technology. We are a technology company that learned its most valuable lessons in one of the most operationally complex, heavily regulated industries in America — and we are now applying that hard-won expertise to build platforms that serve operators across multiple industries worth trillions of dollars combined.

Three Platforms.
One Intelligence Layer.

Each platform addresses a massive market. Each has defensible IP. And together, they create a portfolio where Bishop serves as the connective tissue that compounds value across every vertical.

SolvixLMS Technologies

The Lab Operating System

Full-Stack Lab Management for Regulated Industries

SolvixLMS is not a compliance checkbox tool or a generic ERP retrofitted for labs. It is the first full-stack laboratory management operating system designed specifically for the science and operational reality of extraction and testing facilities.

Built by Joe Neihart — who designed it because he needed it to run his own operation — SolvixLMS unifies nine core modules covering every dimension of lab operations. GSTK acquired a 90% controlling interest through an all-stock warrant transaction.

The compliance engine, workflow orchestration, and analytics layers are domain-agnostic by design — only the regulatory rules and industry vocabulary change per vertical. This is the architecture that enables horizontal expansion across pharmaceutical, food safety, environmental, and industrial laboratory markets.

    The Personal AI Operating System

    The AI Copilot That Knows Your Operation

    Today, raw AI intelligence is commodity infrastructure. Claude, GPT, and open-source models provide the brainpower. The question is no longer "can you build an AI that thinks?" It is "can you build an AI that lives somewhere meaningful?"

    Bishop lives inside your operation. It knows your tasks, your calendar, your documents, your contacts, your goals, your businesses, your compliance deadlines, your COGS margins, and your communication style. It replaces 14+ separate tools with a single conversational interface that understands context.

    Bishop's most powerful strategic property is that it is not confined to a single product. It is an intelligence layer designed to sit on top of any software platform. When SolvixLMS is powered by Bishop, lab directors stop opening dashboards and start having conversations. When the trucking platform is powered by Bishop, operators get a copilot that knows their HOS state, preferred lanes, and financial targets.

    Operator-Grade Profit Optimization

    Net Profit Per Day — Not Rate Per Mile

    The U.S. trucking freight industry generates over $900 billion in annual revenue. Yet the 350,000+ owner-operators who move that freight still make their most consequential economic decisions using intuition, rate-per-mile heuristics, and fragmented tools that were never designed to optimize the full decision.

    This platform changes the unit of analysis from rate per mile to net profit per day. It simulates time, models Hours of Service constraints, scores risk, generates trust warnings, ranks multiple plan options transparently, and then — critically — closes the loop by recording actual outcomes and measuring prediction accuracy.

    Every component in the scoring pipeline is deterministic and testable. There are no "black box" ML models making ranking decisions. The engine uses rule-based scoring with configurable weights and bounded confidence multipliers. This makes the system auditable, debuggable, and explainable — three properties most AI-marketed trucking tools cannot claim.

    • The Team Behind the Vision

    Operator-led. Not committee-managed. Every product is designed from the operational reality the founders live in — not studied from the outside.

    Joseph Babiak

    Founder & Chief Executive Officer — Growth Stalk Holdings Corp

    Joseph leads GrowthStalk's strategic vision and the company's transformation from cannabis to technology. He brings hands-on experience running a multi-entity operation spanning cannabis manufacturing, SaaS development, and M&A — the exact operational complexity that Bishop was designed to manage.

    His dual role as both CEO and the primary source of Bishop's design requirements creates the founder-market alignment that institutional investors look for: Bishop isn't being designed in a vacuum. It's being built to manage morning briefings, track compliance deadlines, monitor COGS across product lines, and flag what needs attention before he has to ask — because those are the exact problems he faces running a multi-entity public company every day.

    Joe Neihart

    Founder — SolvixLMS Technologies

    Joe designed and built SolvixLMS because he needed it. As an extraction lab operator, he experienced firsthand the "Frankenstack" of paper forms, spreadsheets, text messages, and disconnected tools that plague the industry. SolvixLMS is the product of that frustration — built from the ground up with the domain expertise that comes from running the actual operation, not studying it from the outside.

    A United States Marine veteran and serial entrepreneur, Joe's continued involvement ensures the platform evolves with the real needs of lab operators. He leads product development, AI integration, and technology strategy across the SolvixLMS ecosystem — including the architecture of Bishop's integration layer and the nine-module platform build.

    Operating Principles

    These principles govern every design decision, every feature prioritization, and every trade-off resolution across all three platforms.

    The Human Stays in Control

    No auto-dispatch. No autonomous decisions. Our systems recommend, explain, and warn — but the operator makes the call. This is non-negotiable across every platform we build.

    Explainability Is Mandatory

    Every score, every ranking, every recommendation must be accompanied by an explanation the operator can understand and independently evaluate. If it can't be explained, it isn't shipped.

    Trust Is Earned, Not Claimed

    Our systems validate their own predictions against actual outcomes. Warning accuracy is tracked and visible. Trust is built through demonstrated reliability over time, not through marketing copy.

    Built by Operators

    Every platform in our portfolio was designed by operators, for operators, to solve problems that the founders experienced firsthand. The products are tested against real operational demands from day one.

    Net Outcomes Over Vanity Metrics

    Revenue, rate per mile, and gross numbers are never presented without cost context. We optimize for what actually matters: net profit, compliance readiness, and operational clarity.

    Domain-Specific Intelligence

    We don't build generic AI tools and hope to find a market. Each platform encodes deep domain knowledge — regulatory frameworks, operational workflows, and industry-specific decision logic that general-purpose tools cannot replicate.

    Explore the Opportunity

    We're not asking you to trust a pitch deck. We're asking you to look at what we've already built, understand where it's going, and decide if you want to be part of it.
