“Tom Bollich sees similarities between the marijuana business and the tech sector in which he saw extraordinary success. Bollich, co-founder of Zynga Inc., the San Francisco-based online gaming company that developed FarmVille, has entered Colorado’s fledging legal marijuana industry as chief executive of Surna Inc. in Boulder. With plans to acquire additional cannabis technology platforms in the future through Surna, which he founded in August, Bollich knows he came to the right place. ‘This is the Silicon Valley of weed,’ he said. Surna’s first acquisition is Boulder-based Hydro Innovations, which makes cooling equipment for indoor marijuana cultivation facilities.”
