This tech company grew 32,481%...
No, it's not Nvidia... It's Mode Mobile, 2023’s fastest-growing software company according to Deloitte.

They’ve just been granted their stock ticker by the Nasdaq, and you can still invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.26/share.
*Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.

News of the Day
Mexico City-based Mendel has raised a $35 million Series B, bringing its total equity funding to $60 million, plus a $50 million credit facility.
