Today we’d like to introduce you to Scott Mills
Hi Scott, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story, like many innovators, started with a personal frustration. I have been a cannabis home grower for many years. I love the process of nurturing these plants and seeing each strain develop in their own unique ways, but the post-harvest curing phase had been a struggle.
For those who are unfamiliar, curing is a necessary post-harvest step where moisture is stabilized and chemical compounds slowly break down and off-gas, which ultimately helps the smoothness and flavor of the smoke.
I was manually curing in jars, burping them daily—opening them to release built-up gas. It wasn’t unbearable, but it tethered me to home and relied heavily on guesswork, revealing a glaring lack of precision in this crucial step.
I needed a simple, reliable way to automate curing, initially just for myself. I built a prototype, shared it on Reddit, and the reaction was intense. People bluntly told me to “take this down and patent it immediately”. I knew I was onto something.
From there, it was a whirlwind of development, patenting, and launching Droidcure. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m still learning every day.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I admit, it’s been a little bumpy. Launching an invention with zero outside investment is a constant uphill battle. That has probably been the biggest obstacle.
There’s also the technical challenge of perfecting the product, the manufacturing hurdles, and the sheer amount of work involved in building a brand from scratch. There were countless nights spent troubleshooting, refining, and figuring out how to make Droidcure as user-friendly and reliable as possible.
Another struggle for entrepreneurs that doesn’t get talked about enough is overcoming the initial self-doubt. When you’re building something new, you’re constantly questioning yourself. But the positive feedback from the community has inspired me and kept me going.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Droidcure is all about simplifying the cannabis curing process for home growers. We specialize in automated moisture stabilization, taking the guesswork and hassle out of curing.
Plant material naturally tries to balance its moisture with the air around it. Droidcure uses algorithms to manage that balance, accurately curing the plant material to a target relative humidity of the user’s choice, between 57-66% RH.
What sets us apart is our focus on simplicity and reliability. We designed Droidcure to be incredibly easy to use, with no internet or cloud connectivity for maximum privacy. It just works. You set your target humidity, connect it to your curing chamber – whether it’s a storage tote or a wine fridge – and it takes care of the rest. Plus, it’s energy-efficient and reduces single-use plastics such as grow bags; we value being as environmentally friendly as we can.
I’m very proud of the fact that Droidcure solves a real problem for home growers. It gives them back their time and peace of mind. We’re not just selling a product; we’re offering a solution that allows people to enjoy the full experience of growing their own medicine without the risks that come along with curing.
We want readers to know that Droidcure is built with the home grower in mind – it’s reliable, affordable, and designed to make your life easier.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
First and foremost, my co-founder and partner, Natalie Hilscher, has been instrumental in our success. Her experience in marketing and unwavering support these past few years have been invaluable.
Then there are Bob and Erin at CannaJoy MN, seed bank in Minneapolis. They took a chance on Droidcure early on, and their enthusiasm and support have been a huge boost to our visibility. They’ve been amazing advocates in the community.
And of course, we can’t forget the Reddit community! Those initial reactions gave me the push I needed to take this idea seriously.
Lastly, the constant stream of feedback from users has helped us refine and improve Droidcure. It’s a testament to the power of community, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been a part of this journey. Thank you for supporting us, and in return we plan to continue supporting you!
