From inside the XFounders Bootcamp on Bali, Earnscape CEO Steve Wood shares what’s happening on Day 5. If you haven’t already, catch up on days 3 and 4 to get a more complete picture. A few of you have asked, “what happened to days 1 and 2?” Well, Steve was almost literally off the plane from Token2049 and Korea Blockchain Week right before but we’re catching you up with video from the XFounders mentors below.
In the latest dispatch, Steve tells us the day was focused on sales which, at this point, isn’t a primary focus for Earnscape. That’s right. For the near future, Earnscape is entirely focused on turning aspiring streamers into monetized content creators.
Two Free Ways to Promote Your Game(s)
If you are wanting Earnscapers streaming your games and discovering your titles, you have two ways to go about it (and right now, both are free!):
- After downloading the app, gamers can stream any game on their phone, including yours! You don’t have to contact us or anything. Players launch Earnscape and your game just appears, ready to play, stream, and earn. Easy.
- Get Featured! You might be thinking, “hey, I don’t even need to contact you to get my players rewarded and creating thousands of hours of free content!” That’s true. But, if you decided to feature your game in our app, your players earn twice as much! You also get your game in front of more than forty-thousand players worldwide who are actively looking to discover new titles. We did mention this is free, right? (at least for now- Oct 2025.)
But on to the insider peek. Steve tells us that while many of the other founders are focused on sales, Earnscape is looking at two things: partnerships and fundraising.
ABR- Always. Be. Raising.
“The best time to fundraise is when you don’t need the funds,” Steve says. To paraphrase the stageplay and 1990s hit movie, Glengarry Glen Ross, Always. Be. Raising.
For those of us not lucky enough to be swimming in the blue, blue waters of Bali or catching up with industry leaders over sunrise yoga, we have a couple videos from Nelson Lopez, (the CEO of XFounders Accelerator) on what VCs are looking for (and turns them away).

Green Light- What VCs Look For
Nelson tells us, “…Web 3 changes so so fast in terms of what the demands of the market are that you need to have a amazing balance between being adaptable yourself in terms of adjusting to the environment but also staying true enough that you convey a sense of steadiness to your teams.”
So how to do this? How to strike the right balance of flexibility and steadiness? Keep tuning in as Steve gives all the insider alpha from the Xfounders Boot Camp- Powered by Starknet.
