Top 5 Reasons Splinterlands Should Go On Shark Tank

It’s Friday night and I’ve had a few (energy drinks) and I’m not really supposed to be working ( like thats stopped me before) so I’m going to lay out a brief reasoning why @splinterlands formerly known as @steemmonsters should go on Shark Tank.

Quick disclosure, I’m only an investor in the cards and a mediocre player. I hold no equity and do not work for, represent, or ***consult for Splinterlands. This article is for entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as me knowing what I’m talking about.

Reason 1:

VIABILITY

Splinterlands is a totally viable and rapidly growing business. We know that they generate revenue primarily from digital pack sales. With two editions sold out (with a decent chunk of packs still being traded unopened on the secondary market) we know that they have achieved at least several hundred thousands of dollar in sales.

Rough numbers include Alpha edition was 300k packs @ $2 a pack and Beta was 900K packs @ $2 a pack. There have also been multiple promo editions and two successful kickstarters. #1 KS brought in over 80k and #2 brought in over $300k.

This is a real business.

^ + Fundition Ect.

The sharks would have to take Splinterlands seriously, as a business going starting from scratch to serious revenue in less than 2 years.

Reason 2:

GROWTH

This business is just taking off, and if we want to see revenue growth turn into ACCELERATED revenue growth, we all know that we need new players.

Currently there are at least 3k players which is impressive for a new blockchain game but leaves a lot of room to run with the right exposure to crack the mainstream gaming market which is massive.

With a base of three or four thousand players, doubling, tripling, or 10x the base is the chief developers goal ( I <3 you @yabapmatt).

I do have one concern that I am going to mention here. Matt is the absolute man and without him Splinterlands wouldn’t be where it is today.... but thats also a bit of a problem. What if Matt was suddenly unable to be available for any reason? Could the game even exist without him? If there is a backup plan for this contingency I would love to hear it to put my mind at ease.

Perhaps with fresh capital from the Sharks we would see a deeper bench for the dev team and this would not be a concern going forward.

If one dev can bring this game the success it has had, imagine what 5 (almost as good) Yaba’s could do.

Reason 3:

EXPOSURE

This is by far the most important reason Splinterlands should go on Shark Tank. Even if the founders were to give up a substantial portion of equity in a deal, the resulting media exposure could make the game go absolutely bonkers and be worth it.

Shark Tank is an insanely popular show and even without a deal companies have become over night successes just by having their product featured.

With the revenue tens or hundreds of thousands of new players would bring in to pack sales, the pie would grow much bigger and a 60% piece would dwarf a 90% piece.

The slice would grow big enough to to satisfy even this guy:

Reason 4:

SHOWCASE

Not only does Splinterlands have a viable business and strong growth, the niche is something that comes with it’s own ecosystem and something I have not really seen on Shark Tank before.

Splinterlands is a game, but it also comes with a built in army of content creators that are willing to advocate for the product because of their personal stake (more on that later).

Bloggers, vloggers, artists, musicians, all are baked into the Splinterlands\Steem\Steemit ecosystem with livestreams, articles and videos a plenty to help the business grow.

A community that will generate its own promotion content like this video from Top 5 player @goldfashioned:

This is unique proposition and a real advantage to offer to an investor.

Reason 5:

CARD VALUE

If you own Splinterlands assets (cards) you are automatically an investor. You suffer when the game is weak and benefit when the game is strong.

I can’t imaging any stakeholder that would not want the game on Shark Tank because its almost guaranteed that card prices would be driven up immediately after the show aired. Even in the worse possible scenario where we only got a few thousand new players that could double the player base and have a dramatic effect on your share of the Market Cap.

As players and investors we all have a stake in this game and should want as much exposure as possible.

In the meantime I suggest we consider a cameo of Mr. Wonderful. For the price of a Prince Julian (even post nerf) he will endorse anything: https://www.cameo.com/mrwonderful

I was able to get former UFC champion Chuck LIddell to shout us out back in the Steem monsters day to promote a tournament :

There will never be a perfect moment or a the right time for mass adoption.

Sometime you just have to go for it.

It’s time to tell our story to the Sharks!
