Capital will be used to Grow Point-of-Sale and Regulatory Compliance Market Share in Emerging Cannabis Markets, with a Focus on California
Denver, CO July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MassRoots, Inc. (OTCQB: MSRT ), one of the leading technology and compliance platforms for the cannabis industry, is pleased to announce it has closed a $1,217,000 private placement of common stock and warrants, as detailed in MassRoots’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 24, 2017 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. MassRoots’ Chairman and only over 5% shareholder, Mr. Isaac Dietrich, participated in the offering along with several “accredited investors," including family offices and high net worth individuals.
In July 2017, MassRoots acquired Odava, a leading point-of-sale and regulatory compliance platform for cannabis dispensaries. Odava's main integration to state regulators is through Franwell, Inc.'s METRC system, which was recently awarded the contract for California's cannabis regulatory reporting system. MassRoots expects this will enable Odava to enter the California market with minimal infrastructure changes. With more than 1,000 dispensaries expected to be subject to California state regulations for the first time, this presents a unique growth opportunity for MassRoots to on-board these dispensaries to the Odava system as well as its other product offerings.
“California is the largest regulated cannabis market in the country and while our platform is available in other states, our main priority is aggressively scaling our market share in the Golden State,” stated MassRoots’ Chief Executive Officer Mr. Isaac Dietrich. “The proceeds from this offering will help us take advantage of the opportunity created by our recent acquisition of Odava and the California regulatory contract being awarded to Franwell.”
