Mode Mobile, a pre-IPO startup, is disrupting the smartphone industry by letting users earn up to $1,200 annually through its "EarnPhone," mirroring Uber’s asset-monetization model. Over 50,000 investors have already backed the company. The EarnPhone, priced at $99, turns ad revenue into user payouts for everyday activities like gaming or reading news. It features mid-range specs (128GB storage, octa-core processor) and works with major carriers, lowering adoption barriers. Mode’s EarnOS also converts existing phones into revenue-generating devices, expanding its reach. The company claims 490 million users and $1 billion in cumulative earnings, targeting a $1 trillion addressable market. After securing Nasdaq ticker $MODE, Mode is offering pre-IPO shares at $0.50, following a sold-out $46 million funding round. Deloitte named it North America’s fastest-growing software company in 2026. Investors can still access pre-IPO shares, with bonus incentives for larger commitments. The IPO is expected within 24 months, though no guarantee exists, per regulatory disclosures.

Uber Challenged the Status Quo and Become a Multi-Billion Dollar Behemoth. Mode Mobile is Doing the Same to the Smartphone Industry, and There’s Still a Chance to Get in on Pre-IPO Offerings for $0.50 per Share.

The companies that dominate their industries don’t fight the market head-on, they change the rules. Instead of waiting for New York or Paris to approve ride-sharing apps, Uber got drivers on the roads and users on the app. That mentality helped them turn a $1.25 million seed round in 2010 into a $195 billion behemoth, and early investors saw huge returns when Uber went public in 2019. Now, more than 50,000 investors are seeing the same drive from the masterminds behind Mode Mobile. Just as Uber turned a personal asset into a revenue stream, Mode is turning smartphones into EarnPhones. Users can earn up to $1,200 per year just by using their phone as they normally would throughout the day. With their Nasdaq ticker $MODE now secured, their pre-IPO offering at $0.50/share won’t be open much longer.Challenging the status quo The average smartphone user spends 80% of their screen time viewing ads, leading to huge profits for tech companies. Mode Mobile, however, believes that users deserve a cut of the profits they’ve helped create. That’s why Mode Mobile developed the EarnPhone, an Android-powered smartphone that allows users to earn and save money by playing video games, listening to music, and reading the news. Priced at just $99, the barriers to adoption are low and the EarnPhone has many of the same capabilities as most mainstream smartphones, including: Pro-grade triple camera 6.52” HD screen 128 GB storage Octa-core processor USB Type-C fast charging 4000mAh 2-Day Battery4 GB Ram On top of that, EarnPhones are compatible with most major network carriers. Users can also earn income on their existing devices as well with Mode EarnOS, an operating system that turns any smartphone into an EarnPhone. Mode may be a pre-IPO company, but they’ve already had a massive impact on the future of data monetization by paying users real money just by using their phones. Until now, user data monetization was reserved exclusively for big tech. But Mode has already disrupted the status quo:+490M users across their ecosystem$1B in earnings driving $115M revenueRecently closed $46M sold-out investment roundThey were even awarded North America’s #1 fastest growing software company by Deloitte. Just like Airbnb lets users earn extra cash by renting out their bedrooms and Uber allows users to make money on their rides back home from work, Mode Mobile wants to enable its users to make money just from using their phones. However, its total addressable market could be much larger than Airbnb’s and Uber’s – currently at over $1 trillion.While their last two raises sold out, you still have an opportunity to secure pre-IPO shares and invest in their disruption of the smartphone industry. Mode Mobile developed a smartphone called EarnPhone, which allows users to earn and save money by playing video games, listening to music and reading the news. With the phone priced at an affordable $99, the barriers to adoption are low. However, users can earn income on their existing devices as well. This extreme competitiveness has allowed Mode Mobile to attract over 50 million registered beta users. Launching the finalized version could potentially bring in millions more, helping the company reach its goal of $150 million in annual revenue within three years.Click here to learn how you can get up to 20% bonus shares with minimum investments starting at $1,000.
