Leading Cannabis Compliance Company Simplifya Secures $3 Million in Series C Funding Round Led by Merida Capital Partners

DENVER, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Simplifya, the leading developer of regulatory compliance software for the cannabis industry, announced Thursday it has secured $3 million in Series C funding, leaving open the possibility to raise an additional $2 million.

The Series C funding round is led by Merida Capital Partners, a private equity fund that targets fundamental growth drivers underpinning the rapid development of the cannabis industry.

The new round of funding will be used for continued growth and expansion, both nationally and internationally. Simplifya closed a $3 million Series B funding round in February 2018, which was used to add human capital and capture market opportunities. Since the beginning of the year, the company has nearly tripled its staff and quadrupled its client base.

Simplifya introduced its web-based compliance tool in Colorado in late 2016, and it expanded its services this year to include California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, and Ohio. It is currently being utilized by cannabis retailers, cultivators, and product manufacturers in dozens of localities across the eight states.

Across the U.S. and around the world, cannabis prohibition laws are crumbling and giving way to tightly regulated systems of cultivation, product manufacturing, and sales. Regulatory compliance is critical to the success of every business that enters these new markets. It can be difficult in such a nascent industry, where rules are quickly evolving and the whole system is constantly under the microscope.

Simplifya makes it as simple as possible for cannabis companies to maintain compliance, so they can focus more attention on growing their businesses and gaining their footing in this new industry.
