Big Rock is an investment and strategic advisory firm located in San Francisco, California, with a focus on the intersection of cannabis, food, and hospitality sectors. They aim to grow the next generation of cannabis through a network that encompasses a variety of players in the industry, ranging from media to hospitality to technology.

The firm is invested in numerous cannabis-related projects and businesses, from organic cacao dark chocolates infused with sustainable sun-grown cannabis to clean plant science companies like Node Labs, which works with tissue culture micropropagation.
