Steve DeAngelo

Steve DeAngelo co-founded Harborside Health Center in Oakland in 2006 and built it up over the years to a patient list of more than 300,000. He brought in his brother Andrew, also in 2006, to help run the operations, and together they have transformed Harborside into one of the most well-known medical cannabis dispensaries in the nation. The brothers have since launched a new greenhouse cultivation business, FLRish. DeAngelo has been a pioneer in the legal cannabis industry for more than a decade and has won multiple landmark legal cases against law enforcement authorities that have broken new ground for marijuana entrepreneurs.
