HYROAD is a new, California-based sales, services, and logistics agency in the cannabis industry. We bring brands and retailers together to grow consumers by providing retail sales, marketing, service, and logistics solutions. We travel this road with our brand partners through a sales-first mindset, providing deep transparency, high levels of accountability within our team, and a portfolio of strong brands that complement each other deeply. We believe in the importance of strong internal systems and robust training that help our team do what they do best - sell and grow brands!
Our founders shoulder an immense personal responsibility to do right by our brand partners, recognizing that there are major investments in time, funding, employee and family livelihoods, life savings, and life’s work all at stake. This mentality is the core of how we challenge each other. If a brand is part of HYROAD’S portfolio, it’s because HYROAD truly believes in it. Every role within the HYROAD organization is either directly selling or in some way helping the sales team sell.
We also believe that employees should be rewarded for performance, have opportunities to grow within the organization, and have personal ownership in HYROAD through employee equity (profits interest) compensation.
We’re not trying to become the largest cannabis sales, services, and logistics agency in California. Instead, we’re on a mission to become the best, most desired, and most sought after agency in cannabis.
