In this promotional monologue, Dan Novaes introduces Mode Mobile’s “Earn Phone,” a device and operating system that rewards users with real money for everyday phone activities such as listening to music, playing games, charging, browsing, and reading news. The model is ad‑supported: brands pay to reach users, and Mode shares that revenue back to the user, turning the phone from a cost into an income stream. Novaes cites massive adoption (over 50 million sign‑ups), more than $1 billion in user earnings and savings, over 2 million five‑star reviews, and $70 million+ in venture funding, positioning the Earn Phone as a new product category that redefines the relationship between carriers, advertisers, and consumers.

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 flipped 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 Mode shares that revenue back to the user. You are not the customer and you are the partner. Over a billion dollars 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.
