DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MassRoots, Inc. ("MassRoots" or the "Company") (OTC:MSRT), a technology company focused on the regulated cannabis industry, announced today that it has launched a new and improved MassRoots.com focused on monetizing its web traffic.
“Our goal is to make MassRoots the leading web and mobile platform for cannabis consumers to find the best products, connect with other enthusiasts, and deliver fresh content that both delights and informs our audience,” stated MassRoots Chief Executive Officer Isaac Dietrich. “With regulated cannabis sales surpassing $17.5 billion in 2020 and growing at 46% annually according to BDSA, we believe the company that dominates the technology niche in the cannabis industry could become one of the most valuable businesses in the cannabis sector.”
“WeedMaps is clearly the leader in cannabis technology today and their valuation reflects this: they are reportedly going public in a SPAC transaction valued at $1.5 billion. The prevailing narrative on MassRoots focuses on our past – and I’m the first to acknowledge that our historical execution left much to be desired – but right now, I believe we are executing one of the greatest comebacks the cannabis industry has ever seen,” Dietrich continued. “We have one of the largest audiences of U.S. cannabis consumers in the industry, 8 years of experience guiding our decisions, and a nimble, dedicated team that is working tirelessly to expand the revenue-generating features of our platform.”
“The new MassRoots.com is not just a facelift; we migrated our backend, upgraded our tech stack, and greatly reduced our hosting costs. It is a solid foundation on which we can rapidly add new features that will drive the next phase of MassRoots’ development – I believe we are still in the second or third inning of the emergence of the regulated U.S. cannabis industry and it is far from certain who the ultimate winners and losers will be,” concluded Dietrich.
MassRoots has applied to move the quotation of its common stock from the OTC Pink Open Market to the OTCQB Venture Market. The Company believes it meets all of the requirements of the OTCQB Venture Market and expects moving its quotation could result in greater visibility to investors and potential strategic partners.
In December 2020, MassRoots entered into a letter of intent to purchase the Herbfluence platform, which is expected to enable MassRoots’ clients to easily identify the most effective influencers for their marketing campaigns, schedule influencer posts, and evaluate the results of their marketing spend. The Herbfluence platform has worked with over 120 social media influencers with a combined following of more than 27 million people. The transaction is expected to close by March 15, 2021; for more information, please see MassRoots’ Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on December 29, 2020, February 4, 2021, and March 8, 2021.
