Blvcker: For the Culture

Blvcker is more than just a spades app; it’s a cultural movement. Designed for the culture, by the culture, Blvcker reinvents how spades is played, learned, and experienced in the digital world. With our sleek, mature interface and features that mimic the real-life experience, Blvcker is a groundbreaking solution to a problem that spans generations.

Problem: In the Black community, spades is more than a card game—it's a cultural staple. However, many individuals are hesitant to learn the game, and existing apps fail to deliver an authentic, flexible, and culturally representative experience. They offer limited styles of play, lack social features, and present juvenile, non-culturally aligned interfaces.

Solution: Blvcker revolutionizes spades by offering multiple playing styles, social connectivity through partners and messaging, and a sophisticated interface that feels like you're at the card table in real life. With features such as renegs and unique playing styles like Joker Joker Deuce Deuce, Blvcker stays true to the cultural roots of spades while adding modern digital features.

Market Opportunity: With 47.9 million Black Americans and a buying power of $1.8 trillion annually, Blvcker is positioned to tap into a thriving, culturally connected market. The largest population segment, aged 1-39, represents a loyal, tech-savvy audience, with 48% showing loyalty to brands that understand their culture. This positions Blvcker to capture a significant share of this lucrative market.

Revenue Model: Blvcker’s revenue streams are diverse and scalable. We will generate revenue through:

  • Subscriptions for premium features.
  • In-app purchases such as customization and upgrades.
  • Advertising via brand partnerships and in-app ads.
  • Betting features, to be introduced at a later stage.

Traction: Our sister company, Blvck Spades, has built strong partnerships with Amazon, Intuit, Mailchimp, Microsoft, Square, Cash App, BET, African Pride, and the NBA. We recently hosted a hackathon at BITCON, sponsored by Intuit, where 20 technologists developed new features for Blvcker. Our subsequent launch party, sponsored by Square, attracted over 300 people. On social media, we have a following of 70k across Instagram and TikTok, and our email list exceeds 12k subscribers.

Competitive Advantage: Blvcker’s unique competitive advantage lies in its authenticity. We are of the culture and understand spades from a cultural perspective. Unlike other apps, Blvcker offers a physical presence through real-world events, products, and a strong community following. We have spent five years building Blvck Spades and leveraging those connections will be pivotal to Blvcker’s success.

Customer Acquisition Strategy: We will leverage the brand loyalty and momentum built with Blvck Spades to drive user growth for Blvcker. Our marketing will include strategic events, incentivized user referrals, and creative digital campaigns aimed at converting Blvck Spades customers into active app users.

Monetization Timeline: In the first 8 months, our focus will be on acquiring users, aiming to reach 150k users and $1,072,000 in revenue by month 8. By month 15, we project a user base of 500k and revenues of $4,206,250. This steady growth trajectory is supported by our marketing and customer acquisition strategies.


Use of Funds: We seek to raise $1,000,000, allocated as follows:

  • $150,000 for Phase 2 development.
  • $300,000 for marketing and advertising.
  • $40,000 for cybersecurity.
  • $30,000 for hardware and equipment.
  • $130,000 for research and development.
  • $150,000 for expansion and miscellaneous expenses.
  • $200,000 for payroll.

Vision & Long-Term Goals: For Blvcker, our vision includes adding voice chat and streaming, a score-keeping feature for in-person games, a how-to-play module, and eventually introducing betting. For Blvck Haven Studio, our long-term goals extend beyond mobile gaming. We aim to create console games, VR worlds, and educational tools for children, along with opening a data center to provide web services to other companies.
