Bestup is a revolutionary new generation singing competition that rewards both performers and the jury with real cash prizes. It is the world's first and only interactive mobile application where the public acts as the jury. Users who download the app become the jury, while those who upload video performances of their singing act as the contestants. Submitted videos go through an approval process, and the approved ones are broadcast in the preliminary competition within the application. Each user then selects their favorite voice to add to their team. The contestant who enters the most teams earns the right to advance to the next round, with the total jury prize being distributed equally among the users who put the winning contestant on their team. The contestants advancing to the next round have the opportunity to be discovered by releasing singles, filming music videos, and performing duets with celebrities in the final competition.
Bestup offers users the opportunity to act as the jury and choose their favorite performers daily during the preliminary competition. They can be selective and choose only one contestant. Additionally, users can increase their chances of winning by using a wildcard to add another contestant to their team. The contestant entering the most teams, becoming the first and passing the preliminary round, advances to the next round. Additionally, the total jury prize is shared equally among the users who put the winning contestant on their team.
The startup was founded in 2019 and is based in Turkey. While the information about the last investment and investors is not available, Bestup operates in the Entertainment and Music industries, presenting an innovative and engaging platform that has the potential to disrupt the traditional singing competition model.
