Mogo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOGO) (TSX:MOGO) (“Mogo” or the “Company”), one of Canada’s leading financial technology companies, today announced the formation of Mogo Ventures to manage its existing investments in strategic partners and companies that support Mogo’s ecosystem, including:

  • Investments in leading and emerging crypto and Web3 platforms including Gemini, NFT Trader and Tetra Trust;
  • Investments in gaming companies including Enthusiast Gaming (NASDAQ:EGLX) and Eleven Gaming; and
  • Investments in Bitcoin and Ether.

Mogo Ventures will also manage the Company’s portfolio of legacy investments, including its investments in Hootsuite, Blue Ant Media and Alida, with a focus on monetizing these investments.

“Over the past several years Mogo has been able to leverage its leadership position in the Canadian fintech industry to make attractive strategic investments in a number of leading and emerging players in the broader crypto, Web3 and gaming ecosystems, and today’s announcement highlights the significant value that these investments now represent for Mogo shareholders,” said Greg Feller, President & CFO. “As we continue to build out Canada’s leading financial technology and payments platform, we will continue to look for ways to participate in value creation opportunities with our partners that drive incremental shareholder value.”
