Our Story

In 2013, out of a single-car garage in Norwalk, California, two siblings and their cousin planted the seed for what would grow into the cannabinoid industry’s most trusted brands.

The three would gather after work and toil late into the night, fueled by a drive to make a genuine impact and an innovative vision for what lay ahead with hemp. For one, whose 5-year-old daughter relied on CBD’s healing properties, bringing high-quality cannabinoids to the world was personal.

Joined later by a close friend, our four founders created Koi CBD in 2015 to set the standard of quality for cannabinoids. Long before the hype, they recognized the opportunities hemp-derived compounds offered people looking for balance, stress release, and wellness.

They knew that being a leader in this industry would take a commitment to use the best ingredients and processes no matter the cost and connecting human-to-human with the people counting on us for the cannabinoids they need.

Using the expertise they had acquired working in the vape space, they started with a line of CBD-infused vape oils, a cutting-edge idea at the time, before expanding Koi’s catalog.

In those early years our founders set the core values that set us apart– a quality-first mindset and willingness to go above and beyond. They formulated tiny batches, filled bottles by hand, and used grassroots tactics to spread the word.

In selling that very first 100-count flat of bottles, they cemented the family-unified approach and unrelenting enthusiasm that continues to shape Koi today.

Since then, we’ve expanded our Koi family, outgrown that original garage, and continue to challenge ourselves to push forward new standards and new discoveries. We’re excited to share this labor of love and hope our cannabinoids help you reach new levels of health and happiness.
