About
JUUL Labs is a San Francisco-based consumer products company founded in 2015 by Adam Bowen and James Monsees (Stanford Design Program graduates), manufacturing the JUUL e-cigarette — a compact, pod-based nicotine vaporizer that dominated the US vaping market beginning in 2017. The JUUL device uses proprietary nicotine salt formulations that deliver nicotine more efficiently and smoothly than earlier vaping devices, making it highly effective at satisfying nicotine cravings for adult smokers seeking a combustible cigarette alternative. At its peak in 2018, JUUL commanded approximately 75% of the US e-cigarette market, and Altria Group (maker of Marlboro) acquired a 35% stake in JUUL for $12.8 billion — implying a $38 billion company valuation, one of the largest startup valuations in history.
