DENVER, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MJ Freeway, the company which invented seed-to-sale technology and has the cannabis industry's first enterprise resource planning product, announced the completion of its $10 million oversubscribed Series C financing. The financing, which will accelerate MJ Freeway's growth in advanced technological build-outs, centered around increasing new product features for businesses and governments.
