## Specify your team's long-term plans to maintain this software and upgrade it over time
The company is currently revenue generating with Avalanche (Ava Labs) as a customer. A self-serve campaign bounty feature is going live this coming week to enable any game to activate thousands of Soulbound TV streamers to create content and stream a game for rewards and incentives.

Additional revenue features are on the way, including an agent launchpad (signed with Virtuals) and trading (fees)

## Please describe (in words) your team's relevant experience, and why you think you are the right team to build this project. You can cite your team's prior experience in similar domains, doing similar dev work, individual team members' backgrounds, etc.
Have been building and exited a self-serve programmatic platform (DSP) to buy/sell mobile ads in real-time across any geo. Utilizing this experience, we're positioning Soulbound TV to help onboard more users and streamers to web3, games and act as a incentivized channel.

## Who is your target user group? How do you plan on getting your users to use this?
Gamers, esport players, younger web2 streamers and newly interested streamers. Currently already onboarding through multiple activations across esport events, game nights (partnered), communities and guilds.

Already at 50k users, 1k streamers and we're just getting started.

## How did you learn about the Livepeer Grants Program?
Via Doug, Eric and the Livepeer team during summer 2024.

No.
