Frequently Asked Questions
How do cannabis technology co-founders typically structure buy-sell agreements?
Cross-purchase agreements are common in two-founder cannabis tech companies. Each founder owns a life insurance policy on their partner. Death benefit proceeds fund the purchase of the deceased founder's equity interest, allowing the surviving founder to continue product development without estate co-ownership complications.
Do cannabis technology company founders need different coverage than other tech founders?
The core coverage needs are similar — key person insurance, buy-sell funding, and personal protection. The cannabis industry context means clients are in a federally complex industry, but from a life insurance underwriting standpoint, tech founders are rated on their personal health history, not the industry their company serves.
