TORONTO – C15 Solutions, Inc. (“C15”), the leading global quality management solutions for the cannabis sector and a technology partner of Veeva Systems, Inc., has completed a Class A preferred share equity financing with Poseidon Investment Management.
C15 is poised to be the dominant global electronic quality management system (eQMS) choice for compliance and risk management systems in the cannabis sector. C15’s eQMS provides mission-critical document (standard operating procedures) controls; compliance and mandated regulatory training; quality event management with enhanced features such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) and extended employee, health and safety modules. Poseidon’s investment and partnership with C15 will accelerate their market penetration and product development.
Scott Samuel, Founder and CEO of C15, said “In Poseidon, we have a proven sophisticated institutional investor, who not only understands the complex compliance risks in the cannabis sector but also understands where this sector is headed.”
Poseidon believes that eQMS will play a prevalent role as the global cannabis industry implements pharma-like regulations and protocols within facilities worldwide. Eventually, every facility will require these systems to maintain competitive operational excellence, meeting high certification standards (GMP, FDA, Health Canada, etc).
“In surveying the landscape of eQMS in cannabis, it was clear to us that C15 is the technology leader backed by an incredibly strong management team led by founder and CEO Scott Samuel,” said Michael Boniello of Poseidon. “We’re pleased to partner with Scott and his team and advise them as they build out a robust product offering and penetrate new markets.”
