YEBO
YEBO is a Los Angeles Web3 company building no-code tools that let brands and creators design 3D virtual stores and launch interoperable NFT rewards and loyalty programs. Its stated mission is to bring people into Web3 by letting them create their own digital assets - buildings, stores, products - that can move freely from one Web3 environment to another. Founded in 2013 and later repositioned around blockchain rewards, YEBO is led by serial entrepreneur and Bitvore co-founder David Mandel.
