Ishaq Ali - Eaze
Ishaq Ali is the Social Impact Manager at Eaze. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Fresno State with a degree in Political Science, Middle Eastern studies, and a certificate of legal studies focusing on War on Terror and War on Drug Policy. After a fellowship at UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, he shifted his focus to cannabis related policy, studying the disproportionate effects of decriminalization vs. legalization and its effects on communities of color. Ishaq started at Eaze in late 2017 focusing on growth and analytics, eventually moving to the legal team in 2018 to focus on building internal compliance programs as the regulated market began to emerge, helping Eaze launch over 200 cities in CA. Ishaq then shifted focus to social impact in early 2019, tasked with building Momentum, Eaze's business accelerator focusing on supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs. Since the fall of 2019 he has been directing and managing the Momentum Program, supporting 10 small businesses based out of CA and OR.
