Michael Gants is a growth and monetization leader and the founder of Encore, a platform reimagining how mobile apps make money by replacing payment friction with behavior-driven incentives. He studied at Harvard and Stanford, where his focus on consumer psychology and technology shaped his approach to building user-first monetization models.

Michael is a visionary founder backed by top investors, including Village Global, Mucker, and DraftKings and works closely with mobile app teams to unlock entirely new revenue streams from users who traditionally never convert. His work challenges the status quo of paywalls and subscriptions, showing how apps can grow revenue without adding risk, cost, or user frustration.
