Funds To Be Invested in Growth: New Products, New Markets and Talent

PAX Labs, Inc., a leading consumer technology brand, has secured $420 million in equity financing from global institutional investors representing technology, healthcare, consumer products and diversified public equities. The financing also received support from existing investors, including Tiger Global Management and Tao Capital Partners.

PAX takes the guesswork out of cannabis, delivering quality and predictability through its flagship vaporizers — PAX Era for concentrates and PAX 3 for flower. The PAX mobile app allows consumers to control the temperature and draw strength of their vaporizer — providing greater predictability in each session.

“PAX is investing heavily in growing its brand as well as developing innovative new products to scale and capture an enormous opportunity,” said CEO Bharat Vasan. “This financing round allows us to invest in new products and new markets, including international growth in markets like Canada and exploring opportunities in hemp-based CBD extracts. We aspire to be the gold standard for safety and good stewards of a product that enhances many people’s lives. We are hiring and investing heavily in our people, who power PAX’s mission of establishing cannabis as a force for good.”
