The story

Würk is a vertical SaaS company purpose-built for the cannabis industry, providing compliant payroll and Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions to state-licensed cannabis operators — a sector historically underserved by mainstream payroll providers due to regulatory complexity. The company has progressively layered embedded finance capabilities onto its core payroll product, including earned wage access via DailyPay and retirement savings via Human Interest, positioning itself as a financial infrastructure layer for cannabis workforce management.
