When starting or expanding a business, there are a ton of considerations that are taken into account from an operational perspective. More often than not, one aspect of having a fully functioning business that is overlooked is your insurance and risk management program. This session will give you the background of the basic types of insurance needed for cannabis companies both small and large to make sure your business is fully protected.
Isaac Bock, Managing Director Head of Strategy, Alpharoot
Isaac Bock is the Managing Director and Head of Strategy for AlphaRoot, a
groundbreaking insurance company based in the emerging market of cannabis.
A Penn graduate and currently pursuing a Masters of Science in medical
cannabis science and therapeutics at the University of Maryland, Bock first
joined Founder Shield in 2017 before taking over their newly created AlphaRoot
department.
Originally employed by a traditional insurance power, Isaac’s entrepreneurial
spirit and passion for providing quality service attracted him to Founder Shield,
which at the time was in its infancy. Isaac attributes his career switch to the
personal and professional alignment of Founder Shield’s executives, where
shortly after he was asked to launch AlphaRoot in the rapidly growing market of
cannabis.
Dedicated to changing outdated perceptions, Isaac’s motivation to bring holistic
medication back into the mainstream is where his passion resides. Interacting
with co-workers and clients, Isaac’s focus on building relationships is key to his
success as he realizes people are who they surround themselves with; thus
continuously pushing to be among the best both in insurance and cannabis.
When Isaac isn’t out changing the world’s view on cannabis, he can be found
