We're thrilled to share answers to some FAQs and our plans for the future as we build the Pangea ecosystem! 💪🏼 🎯 How much have we raised? We have successfully raised $318,000 from 50 customers, which includes contributions from two institutional investors. A significant portion of this comes from John van Meers' (founder at deBitcoinConsultant) network, while the rest has been raised from various other sources. 🎯 What have we used the funds for? - Team expansion: We've upgraded our team by hiring several part-time and full-time employees in the marketing, sales, and product development teams. We've brought onboard Phil Patterson, a highly experienced Web3 fundraiser, who is helping us explore and engage with high-potential leads. - External partnerships: Funds have also been used to engage with and secure many external partnerships, which are crucial for our growth and development. We have established close to 25 partnerships, details of which can be found below. These partnerships span across various sectors, providing us with strategic advantages. Our community has also grown by 8,000 people since the fundraising began. - Public sale preparation: We are actively preparing for our public sale by reaching out to exchanges for listing, market makers for liquidity, and continuing ongoing sales efforts. - Investor engagement: We are currently in conversation with several tier-1 and tier-2 venture capital firms. The feedback we've received indicates that once a major investor comes on board, others are likely to follow, which could significantly boost our momentum. 🎯 What are we doing next? - Public sale: Our primary focus for the next year is to execute a large, successful public sale. Our TGE has been moved to December, making it crucial to intensify our marketing efforts on platforms like Discord and Twitter, and explore other avenues to strengthen our community. - Raise funds from institutions: We will continue to engage with venture capital firms and potential big-ticket investors, aiming to convert these leads into solid investments. We have been in discussions with some tier 1 venture firms who have shown significant interest and are negotiating with them. - Building our community: We are committed to expanding our community further and improving our sales pitches, connections, and relationships to ensure long-term success. - Product development: ---- We are finalizing integrations with exchanges and market makers to ensure a smooth and successful public sale. ---- We are building a robust decentralized infrastructure, including staking features for UCW users, which will be fully operational by the time of the public sale. ---- We are launching the multi-chain Wallop feature for UCW, designed to attract additional communities and serve as a compelling product offering. This feature will also be a key tool for attracting developers from other platforms to Pangea. Lastly, we’re incredibly grateful for the continued support. 🙏🏼
