Acquisition Serves as Benchmark for Future Investments in Profitable, Innovative Cannabis Businesses
SEATTLE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2017 / SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC PINK: SING), a holding company specialized in the acquisition of small to mid-sized companies, announces that it has closed its first round of funding to acquire a portion of Jacksam Corp., dba Convectium, the developer of a unique oil filling system poised to revolutionize the cannabis market. Convectium projects full-year 2017 sales of $3.5 million, a triple-digit increase over the year prior. The acquisition represents the first of many strategic investments SinglePoint intends to make to diversify its revenue streams in the multi-billion dollar cannabis industry.
As previously announced, SinglePoint will invest a stock and cash consideration totaling $800,000 to help fund the growth of Convectium and the marketing of its revolutionary 710Shark and 710Seal system. Developed by Convectium, the system is capable of filling and packaging more than 100 cartridges or disposable vape pens in 30 seconds, making it the fastest and only filling and sealing system of its kind. Convectium also offers a line of B2C products, which SinglePoint will sell online through its SingleSeed.com subsidiary.
Driven by increasing product demand and brand visibility, Convectium projects full-year 2017 revenues of $3.5 million, an increase of 150% compared to revenue of $1.4 million for full-year 2016. The company is on track to achieve this goal, as sales for the first quarter of 2017 have already significantly surpassed first-quarter sales in 2016.
"We are excited to be a part of the SinglePoint team. With their funding we expect to reach and hopefully exceed our projected revenue goals," says Danny Davis, managing partner of Convectium.
The investment provides growth opportunities for both parties, and accelerates SinglePoint's strategy to profitably participate in the lucrative cannabis industry without direct contact with a marijuana plant.
"We have evaluated numerous investment prospects in the cannabis space, and found there is nothing that compares to this opportunity we have with Convectium," states SinglePoint CEO, Greg Lambrecht. "With this transaction, we will acquire a stake in a cannabis business that never touches a marijuana plant. This is the strategy we will use as we move forward to hedge us against changing federal and state laws."
