The entrepreneurial reality series Go Fund Yourself returns tonight on Cheddar with Season 4, Episode 2, spotlighting two startups that are redefining digital connection and competition: VALA and BlinC Games. Created by Rory Cutaia, the show merges prime-time entertainment with real-world startup fundraising, as entrepreneurs pitch to a panel of high-profile business leaders known as The Titans.
VALA is tackling a central challenge in the creator economy: fair compensation for user-generated content. The app enables users to earn from their posts and engagement, transforming social media interactions into real-world financial rewards. By integrating crypto connectivity and decentralized transaction systems, VALA is reimagining digital value exchange. In an era where major social platforms monetize user data and engagement, VALA's model puts money and control back in the hands of its users.

BlinC Games blurs the lines between real-world sports and interactive entertainment. The platform allows players to organize tournaments, record highlights, and compete for prizes or charitable causes, offering a dynamic blend of recreation and social impact. With the rise of competitive gaming and sports livestreaming, BlinC's platform stands at the intersection of community, technology, and philanthropy. By making it easier for anyone to host or join tournaments—from pickup soccer games to eSports competitions—BlinC is creating a new space for athletes and gamers to connect.

What sets Go Fund Yourself apart is its blend of mentorship and real-world exposure. Startups not only pitch for potential investment but also gain guidance from business veterans who have built empires from the ground up. Joining Cutaia on the panel are Jayson Waller, bestselling author and podcast host, and David Meltzer, globally recognized speaker and investor. Together, they help founders refine their pitch and navigate growth challenges.
“Each episode is more than a pitch,” says creator Rory Cutaia. “It’s an opportunity to inspire other entrepreneurs watching from home—to show that with vision, passion, and execution, anyone can create something remarkable.” The series has quickly become a platform for discovery, giving innovative startups the visibility they need to attract investors, customers, and partners.
