social media company seeks an additional $6 million to close out the Series B round.

MeWe, the pioneering privacy-first social media network, announced it is launching a growth agenda to accelerate its efforts to bring Web3 to its 20+ million users. The opening of the Series B round, led by McCourt Global, will accelerate MeWe’s growth and open doors for further innovation within MeWe, including the further development of new technologies such as AI integration, the launch of new Web3 product features, strategic user acquisition through targeted marketing efforts, and the rollout of a native token to enhance user growth, platform engagement and platform utility.

MeWe has undertaken an unprecedented transformation over the past year to integrate with the Frequency blockchain and migrate its users to Web3 at scale. Since making this commitment, the platform has hit a major growth milestone and cemented its position as one of the world’s largest Web3 user bases by seamlessly migrating more than 1 million MeWe users to the Frequency chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) and designed to enable individual ownership of personal data and content. The project is an extraordinary validation of the technology’s dependability and scalability, a signal that social media users do not have to sacrifice privacy or data to engage online, and the foundation for MeWe to innovate and expand Web3-based experiences and opportunities for its growing user base.

We look forward to more forward-thinking investors joining us as we continue to pioneer the future of the web.”

In August, as part of MeWe’s integration with Frequency, MeWe announced that more than 600,000 MeWe users now control ownership of their complete social graph on the Frequency blockchain. That number will continue to increase over time and the Series B funding round will directly support efforts to bring more users along on this migration.
