What is MJ Freeway?
MJ Freeway is “the industry-leading cannabis business software-as-a-service platform, [MJ Freeway] makes running a cannabis business easy with seed-to-sale tracking software that manages every plant, gram and dollar, saving you time and money.” MJ Freeway has clients in 18 states, Washington D.C., Canada, and Europe. They currently have a patent pending on their technology with the objective of “providing accurate, real-time data to cannabis cultivators, infused products manufacturers, and dispensaries, accounting for every gram and every dollar throughout the entire product chain of custody.” With the investment, MJ Freeway is looking to invest in their infrastructure and continue building a leading team in the industry.
On MJFreeway.com’s investor relations page, the company says “MJ Freeway is a private company whose stock is not publicly traded at the present time. Please check back often for updates on MJ Freeway’s plans to become a publicly traded company.” It would reasonable to assume that an IPO is on its way; this is definitely a company that investors should put on their watch list.
While everyone may think that a marijuana grower may be the way to invest in cannabis, just remember that during the gold rush the picks and shovel companies did the best. MJ Freeway has the ability to be a part of the whole entire supply chain making this company levered to the entire industry.
