We see GSTND developing concepts and technology and rather than building factories we will partner with companies with experience, personnel and equipment for mass production and distribution. We want to do what we are good at and help others do the same to help us all while doing good.
Our team is expanding as we seek partners with expertise in manufacturing technologies. Our passion is technology development and we would like to continue collaborating with folks whose passion is commercialization.
