MANTRA DAO Entices Institutional and Retail Investors From All Corners of the World
IMO Hits Hard Cap, 4x Oversubscribed
MANTRA DAO recently hit the Hard Cap of its Initial Membership Offering (IMO). The IMO was a huge success as the MANTRA DAO team saw the entire sale almost 4 times oversubscribed, and some rounds being filled in a matter of minutes.
As we welcomed over a thousand participants hailing from 81 countries around the world and ranging in age from 18 to 77 years old, Council Member Will Corkin mentioned that:
“The entire team at MANTRA DAO could not be more humbled and honored to have such an eclectic and global group of participants in our IMO. Our goal with creating MANTRA DAO is to help people all over the world store and build wealth together and have access to opportunities never seen before. By reaching people in 81 countries we are well on our way of achieving this goal and helping to break wealth inequality!”
