Introduction

6.2B people around the world make less than $12,000 per year.

As corporations rake in record profits, billions of people are in search of extra cash.

Smartphone users spend 1/4th of their waking hours on their devices – a potential untapped and under-utilized income-generating asset.

We're unlocking one of the most accessible income-generating assets, sitting untapped in the pockets of over 7B consumers– the smartphone.

We make it easy to earn extra income by rewarding people for what they are already doing: using their smartphones.

Mode sits at the cornerstone of an estimated $1T market, with 40M+ users across 170+ countries and $50M+ in cumulative revenue generated*.

*based on unaudited management accounts.

Substantial accomplishments to date

Mode Mobile was the #1 fastest-growing software company in the US, according to Deloitte Fast 500 2023.

We were ranked #2 overall in the Deloitte Fast 500, behind only Bill Gates-backed Vir Pharmaceuticals, which was #1 in 2022, as well. Our remarkable growth rate of 32,481% - ahead of the 1,934% average - helps underscore Mode Mobile’s incredible momentum.

(32,481% growth is based on FY revenue growth between 2019 ($76,569) to 2022 ($24,871,115)).

We have over 40M registered beta users across 170+ countries taking advantage of Mode Mobile’s earning opportunities. To date, we calculate we've helped our users earn and save over $250M.

With over 2M 5-star reviews and an average 4.4-star rating overall, users love our platform.

We've generated over $50M in cumulative revenue to date.

We've been on interviewed on NASDAQ, The Adam Carolla Show.

Mode Mobile has also been in the spotlight on top-tier podcasts and publications including CNBC, Forbes, Cheddar, Business Insider and more.

Monetisation strategy

We estimate that Mode sits at the intersection of a trillion-dollar market opportunity.

We’re looking to scale globally with our EarnOS software.

Through sales and licensing deals we will look to make EarnOS (Mode's operating system) available to other device manufacturers — empowering them to transform the world's smartphones into EarnPhones.

Through licensing EarnOS we aim to expedite global distribution.

We believe we are a one-of-a-kind rewards platform; offering a singular operating system bringing all earning opportunities under a unified umbrella.

Use of proceeds

We're fundraising to scale our impact grow the amount of earnings and savings for users globally. This is the first time this opportunity will be directly available to European investors!

We’re committed to making income generation accessible, leveraging the power of technology to benefit more people across North America and beyond.

This round is part of a planned series of fundraising rounds through which we intend to grow our revenue and user base via the expansion of our EarnPhone and EarnOS products.

Proceeds used from this and future raises will be allocated to product development, operations, manufacturing, and marketing.

Our vision is to unlock the full potential of the world’s most accessible income-generating asset - the smartphone. We believe a monumental opportunity exists to turn people's phones into an income stream.

Key Information

Fundraising Approach & Runway:

The company has been undertaking an ongoing fundraising strategy over the past year allowing them to raise and draw down investment on a continuous basis. The Company has had several investment campaigns running simultaneously allowing them to do this. These have included a Regulation CF raise and a Regulation D raise in the United States, as well as an equity crowdfunding raise in Canada. Additionally, the Company has been raising funds pursuant to Regulation S from investors outside of the United States.

The investment raised through these crowdfunding campaigns over the last 6 months has been reflected in this campaign, representing £1.9M from 1,391 investors.

The Company intends to continue this approach and raise investment on an ongoing basis in the future through multiple vehicles and plans to raise capital via a Regulation A raise some time in 2024. This Seedrs campaign constitutes part of this multi-vehicle approach.

Due to this approach and the drawdowns of investment, the Company’s cash position may not exceed 6 months of runway at any given time.

Share Price, Reflected Investment and FX Conversion:

As part of their fundraising offerings in other jurisdictions the company has offered ‘bonus’ shares to investors depending on their level of investment.

These additional ‘bonus’ shares have an impact on the effective share price paid by the investor.

The share price in this Seedrs campaign has been calculated using the average share price paid by investors over the last 6 month period, including any additional bonus shares. The amount of funding raised in the past 6 months has been reflected in the progress bar on the campaign. That means some funds reflected will have been invested at a higher price and some at a lower price than the one offered in this campaign.

The funds reflected in the campaign have been converted from USD to GBP at an exchange rate of 0.8 (being the spot rate on 25/04/24).

Share Classes:

The Company has five classes of stock: Series Seed Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class AAA Common Stock.

All investors in this round, including Seedrs investors, are receiving Class AAA Common Stock, with the following rights: (i) rights to participate in dividends pro rata with all other classes of Common Stock in the Company; (ii) rights to participate in surplus assets in the event of a liquidation (and on an exit) behind holders of Preferred Stock (which benefits from a 1x non-participating liquidation preference) and pro rata with all other classes of Common Stock in the Company.

Please note that Class AAA Common Stockholders do not have voting rights or pre-emption rights.

Group Structure:

Investors in this round are investing in and will become shareholders of Mode Mobile, Inc., a Delaware incorporation. The company has 3 wholly owned subsidiaries:

1. Mode Mobile, LLC., a Delaware Limited Liability Company.
2. Current (Gibraltar) Ltd, a private company in Gibraltar.
3. Mode Phone, LLC., an Illinois Limited Liability Company.

Bonus Shares:

As part of the investor perks for this campaign the company intends to offer additional bonus shares to investors in the campaign.

The company intends to issue these bonus shares directly to each investor, meaning these additional shares would sit outside of the Seedrs nominee and not be reflected in investors’ portfolios on Seedrs.

The company is solely responsible for the issuance of these additional bonus shares and Seedrs takes no responsibility for them.

The share price of the campaign does not take into account any additional bonus shares being offered as part of the investor perks package.

Investor Perks

Please note that any discounts, rewards and/or offers listed by a company in its campaign are subject to the terms and conditions applied by that company and listed above. It is the company’s responsibility to honour such discounts, rewards and/or offers and Seedrs does not take any responsibility for them.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for Mode Mobile has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 2 May 2024 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

This business is eligible for SEIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 50% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Tax Relief (EIS)

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £88,478,201

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
