MeWe a Social Network With more than 780,000 Active Users on the Polkadot Blockchain Opens Community Investment Round to Allow Users to Own a Financial Stake in Company
By migrating its 20 million+ registered users to the ‘Social Web,’ aka Web3, MeWe is elevating user control and privacy like never before.
MeWe, one of the world’s largest decentralized social networks built on Polkadot, has opened a Regulation CF (Reg-CF) community investment round on Wefunder to its community of over 20 million users. Through Wefunder, the leading platform in the Reg-CF space, individual investors can invest directly in startup companies. Now, MeWe users can own a stake in the company’s success, starting at just $100.
With over 20 million users across 200 countries and territories, and over 740,000 already active on the blockchain, MeWe is looking to pioneer the move from Web2 to Web3 at scale by combining the tremendous market potential of social networks with the sizable volume of Web3 transactions – an estimated $1T opportunity.
MeWe expects to have more than 1.5 million users on-chain by Q4 2024. The migration is intended to offer users unprecedented privacy, control, and ownership of their digital identities and social experiences.
“We’ve opened a community investment round on Wefunder to take user-ownership to the next level,” said MeWe Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Edell. “Years ago, we envisioned a powerful alternative to Big Tech social media, without the influence of corporations or data brokers, where individuals could own and control their own digital identities and social experiences. As we enter this next chapter, we’re offering our users an opportunity to own a personal stake in the future of MeWe and decentralized social media.”
MeWe’s team is led by pioneering executives from Disney, Apple, Yahoo!, 21st Century Fox, Myspace, Warner Bros and Samsung. The company previously closed a $24 million Series A round in February 2022 led by McCourt Global.
Anyone can invest in MeWe from $100 and up to $500,000+ at https://wefunder.com/mewe.
