Episode 168 - Rocco Del Priore, Sweed POS

Episode 168 is the 31st episode of Season 3.

We’re joined today by Rocco Del Priore, co-founder and CTO of Sweed POS, a cannabis retail software company helping dispensaries streamline everything from sales to compliance to customer experience. With a background in computer science and years of hands-on experience in both tech and cannabis, Rocco brings a unique systems-level mindset to solving retail’s biggest pain points.

From building apps at Apple to designing tools for delivery, loyalty, and point-of-sale, Rocco has spent the last decade helping companies better connect with their customers. At Sweed, he’s taking that mission further by building an all-in-one retail platform that actually understands the needs of cannabis operators.

In this episode, we talk about what it takes to build tech that adapts to real-world workflows, the differences between cannabis and traditional retail, and how Rocco’s journey through product, IT, and operations has shaped Sweed’s user-first approach. We also get into what most tech companies get wrong about dispensaries and what the next era of cannabis retail should look like.
