**Eaze** is an American company based in [San Francisco](/source/San_Francisco), California that launched a medical cannabis delivery app of the same name in 2014.[1]

## History

Eaze was launched in 2014 by Keith McCarty to deliver medical marijuana to patients in [California](/source/California).[2][3] McCarty started the company in his San Francisco apartment with four employees. The company provides a mobile app to connect users with cannabis dispensaries, but does not grow or sell marijuana itself, and has been nicknamed “the [Uber](/source/Uber) of Weed”.[4][5] As of 2017, the company operates in more than 100 cities within California.[4]

In 2017, Eaze reported 300 percent growth over the previous year. It has 81 employees, and performs 120,000 deliveries per month to 250,000 users.[6][7] A survey of Eaze users revealed that 66% are male, 57% are between 22 and 34, just over half have a [bachelor's degree](/source/Bachelor's_degree), and 49% have an annual income over $75,000.[8] The company's vaporizer cartridge sales reached $1 million in sales in 4 months, and 31% of customers had ordered a vaporizer by the end of 2016.[4][5]

In 2016, Eaze founder Keith McCarty stepped down from his position as [CEO](/source/Chief_executive_officer) and was replaced by Jim Patterson, who served as the company's chief product and technology officer.[9]

## EazeMD

User showing the app

EazeMD is a service that helps people acquire a medical marijuana card. It is a California-based [telemedicine](/source/Telehealth) service in which physicians assess patients through an online video chat.[10][11][12] It is California's largest telemedicine service for marijuana referrals.[11]

In June 2017, a former employee of one of these physicians accessed patient data in the physician's records system, causing a security breach. However, there was no evidence that Eaze data was accessed.[13]

## Eaze Insights

Eaze Insights conducts surveys of their users and compiles data into reports on cannabis use. Statistics from their reports have been cited in *[Seattle Weekly](/source/Seattle_Weekly)*,[14] *[Forbes](/source/Forbes)*,[15] [*The Huffington Post*](/source/HuffPost),[5] *[Business Insider](/source/Business_Insider)*,[16] *[Fortune](/source/Fortune_(magazine))*,[8] and other general interest publications.

## Financing

The company announced its $10 million [Series A funding](/source/Series_A_round) in April 2015 by multiple venture capital firms, including the [Snoop Dogg](/source/Snoop_Dogg)-backed Casa Verde Capital.[17][18] In October 2016, Eaze announced its series B funding in the amount of $13 million from five investors, making the company "the highest-funded startup in the history of the cannabis industry, as well as its fastest-growing one".[2][19][20] In September 2017, the company raised another $27 million in venture funding.[21] The Series B funding was led by Bailey Capital, joined by [DCM Ventures](/source/DCM_Ventures), Kaya Ventures, and FJ Labs. According to the company' officials in 2017, Eaze managed to raise more than $52 million since its inception in 2014.[22]
