MassRoots, Inc. (OTCQB: MSRT), a company offering cannabis enthusiasts the chance to share their cannabis content while staying connected with news and the latest legislation regarding the drug through a specialized social media platform and iOS application, has shown significant growth in the rapidly developing cannabis industry.
According to a SeeThruEquity update (http://nnw.fm/f5kvA), MassRoots achieved phenomenal growth in 2016, with revenue reaching $794,621 during the first three quarters of 2016, compared to just $63,982 during the same period of the previous year. This performance was attributed to the company’s ability to monetize its users, which increased by 1,140% as compared to the first three quarters of 2015.
The company now has a fan base of over 900,000 users and plans to introduce a range of new features to its platform, fully indexing the network’s public content on Google for search engine optimization purposes. Earlier this week, MassRoots launched an update to its iOS mobile application (http://nnw.fm/J03eR), which is currently available through the App store. New features include geo-targeted advertisements, in-depth strain and product pages, and revamped reporting and content screening mechanisms.
In addition, MassRoots kicked off 2017 by achieving its strongest cash position in corporate history following the reception of $2 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants (http://nnw.fm/XIRp8). According to CEO Isaac Dietrich, this capital infusion will allow MassRoots to continue building momentum in the industry. Dietrich has set an intermediate goal of reaching revenue levels similar to industry leaders such as Weedmaps and Leafly, which generated more than $25 million and $15 million in 2016 sales, respectively.
MassRoots’ substantial 2016 growth seems to be widely supported by strong industry trends. With eight states having legalized the recreational use of marijuana, MassRoots is positioned for growth, anticipating an increase in users from a number of states. Currently, the company receives three-quarters of its revenue from California and Colorado, but new markets are expected to emerge.
MassRoots also recently acquired DDDigtal, known as Whaxy, a menu management and online ordering platform for licensed cannabis businesses. In a news release announcing the acquisition (http://nnw.fm/vqmT0), Isaac Dietrich commented, “This acquisition, when completed, will expand MassRoots’ offerings to include a full suite of dispensary software solutions – online ordering, marketing, and real-time inventory management — for cannabis businesses”.
