Before Wurk, Peterson spent eight years working for high-growth HR technology companies, developing a deep understanding of possible solutions in the space. Wurk, the first and leading Human Capital Management company for the cannabis industry, is pleased to announce the raise of $11 million in a funding round led by returning investors Poseidon Asset Management and Arcadian Fund.

Cannabis has been off-limits to doctors and researchers in the US for the past 80 years, but recently scientists have discovered its anti-cancer properties. Armed with only these laboratory studies, desperate parents obtain cannabis oil from underground sources to save their children from childhood cancers. “Weed the People” follows these families through uncharted waters as they take their children’s survival into their own hands.
