Ease weed app Startup Backed By Snoop Dogg
A startup company called “Ease weed app” has raised $ 10m (£ 6.8m) in a financing round from investors including rapper Snoop Dogg.
The artist’s Casa Verde Capital Company backed marijuana supplier Eaze, which connects the medical marijuana card carrier with local dispensaries in California.
They claimed that they can set user with the drug for delivery in less than 10 minutes. Recreational use of marijuana is illegal in the state, but Eaze says it isn’t breaking any laws.
The company raised $ 1.5 million (£ 1m) in November and has approximately made 3,000 deliveries since it was launched.
Eaze wants to use the money to hire 50 people in 50 days, and plans to expand into other states where recreational and medical marijuana legally available.
Washington DC, Colorado and Alaska have legalized recreational use of the drug, while 23 states allow the medicinal use.
Neither Google nor Apple have Eaze in their app stores currently, obviously they did not want to be seen as promoting or endorsing drug use.
Uber, a taxi app that can let you book a car at the touch of a button on a smartphone, made the on-demand trend popular.
