In this promotional monologue, Dan Novaes introduces Mode Mobile’s “Earn Phone,” a smartphone and operating system that rewards users with points convertible to real dollars for routine activities such as listening to music, playing games, charging, browsing, and reading news. The earnings are funded by an ad‑supported ecosystem called MoShare, where brands pay to reach users and the revenue is shared back to the user, making the model financially sustainable. Novaes cites massive adoption metrics—over 50 million sign‑ups, more than $1 billion in user earnings and savings, over 2 million five‑star reviews, and $70 million in investor funding—to argue that Mode Mobile has created a new product category where the phone is an income stream rather than a cost.

This company figured out how to make your phone pay you. Over 50 million people have signed up. Phone companies cost you money. You buy it and you pay the bill. You scroll. That's it. And Mode Mobile fit the entire model. They built a phone specifically called an Earn Phone, an operating system that pays you for the things you already do. Listen to music, play games, charge your phone, browse the web, read the news. Every action earns you points. Those points turn into real dollars and people can earn thousands of dollars a year. And here's what makes it smart. They're not losing money paying you. They built an ad-supported ecosystem where brands pay to reach you and MoShare shares that revenue back to the user. You are not the customer and you are the partner. Over $1 billion in earnings and savings by users so far, over 2 million 5-star reviews, and they've raised over $70 million from investors. They didn't just build a phone, they built a new category— the earn phone, where the device isn't a cost, it's an income stream. Your phone is already the most used object in your life. Mo just made it more valuable.
