Together with Mode Mobile

Today’s fastest-growing software company might surprise you 🤳

🚨Heads up! It's not the publicly traded tech giant you might expect… Meet $MODE, the disruptor turning phones into potential income generators. Investors are buzzing about the company's pre-IPO offering.¹

📲Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte’s most recent fastest-growing companies list² by aiming to pioneer "Privatized Universal Basic Income"powered by technology—not government. Their flagship product, EarnPhone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.

🫴 Mode’s Pre-IPO offering¹ is live at $0.25/share — 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. There’s still time to get in on Mode’s pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares³… but only until their current raise closes for good. Invest in Mode before their share price changes on 11/22 (and lock in up to 2X bonus stock).*
