The opportunity

Your fans already
want to support you.
Let them.

Every show, fans walk away wishing they could do more than clap. They'd pay for access, for connection, for the privilege of knowing what's next—if you made it easy.

But every platform out there wants you to become a content creator. Post weekly. Write newsletters. Feed the algorithm. That's not your job. Your job is to perform.

Encore builds your audience while you do what you already do—play live.

How it works

From tip jar to
financial freedom.

01

Fan scans. Tips in 30 seconds.

QR code on stage, on merch, on a sticker. Fan scans, picks an amount, Apple Pay. Done. They're on your list.

02

Post a show. One tap.

Open Encore on your phone. Venue, date, done. Every fan who ever tipped you gets notified via text. No newsletter. No algorithm. Direct.

03

Fans come back. Leave notes.

"Your set tonight was incredible." Private notes from fans, not public comments. A genuine connection that neither side has to perform for.

04

Subscriptions happen naturally.

After a fan has tipped twice, come back to a show, felt the connection — they're ready. "Never miss a show? $5/mo." No hard sell. It happens naturally.
