New York, Australia, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alta Global Group (NYSE American: MMA) ("Alta" or the "Company"), a pioneering technology company seeking to aggregate and drive participation in combat sports, announced today it has successfully arranged a $2.1 million fundraise via a private placement of ordinary shares to non-U.S. investors to fuel its growth initiatives for 2025.
