Years ago, digital creators were seen as side hustlers: posting videos, building an audience, and maybe earning a bit of ad revenue. Today, many of those creators are running full-scale businesses. But until recently, the infrastructure supporting them looked more like a patchwork of tools than a proper tech stack.
That’s where FanBasis comes in, and the South Florida startup has just raised $20 million to expand its all-in-one platform for internet entrepreneurs.
Led by Left Lane Capital, the Series A round includes participation from big-name backers like Ryan Serhant, The Sidemen via Upside Ventures, Gerard Piqué, and Connexa Capital.
“Creators and internet entrepreneurs don’t just need software – they need a platform that acts as a growth partner,” Yash Daftary, founder and CEO of FanBasis, commented in a statement. “Today’s creators are building real businesses, and they need infrastructure that moves as fast as they do.”
FanBasis offers an integrated platform that replaces the fragmented tech stacks many digital entrepreneurs rely on. Payments, fulfillment, course and community hosting, CRM, customer engagement, and business operations, all bundled into one system.
“FanBasis gives [creators] that foundation,” said Daftary. “With this funding, we’re doubling down on our mission to power a new class of internet entrepreneurs – people turning expertise, community, and content into scalable, durable companies.”
The company’s user base spans far beyond influencers. It includes fitness coaches running challenges, consultants building subscription communities, and marketers selling digital products. What they have in common is the need for serious tools and the ambition to build something that lasts.
“FanBasis has shown the industry what a modern creator platform for digital products and services should look like – a solution that gives entrepreneurs real ownership, operational clarity, and the ability to grow and manage everything in one place,” said Matt Hobbs, CFO at FanBasis.
That clarity has translated into real momentum. According to the company, the platform’s gross merchandise value has tripled in recent quarters, and its creators now generate tens of millions monthly.
For investors like Left Lane Capital, it’s a sign of where the internet economy is heading.
“While much of the industry has centered around social influencers, FanBasis is building the foundation for high-value creators who monetize their expertise through coaching, courses, and webinars,” shared Matthew Miller, partner at Left Lane Capital, a New York- and London-based VC firm. “By focusing on this more enterprise segment, they are paving the way for a new generation of creators – those building real revenue streams around specialized skills and insights.”
With the new capital, FanBasis plans to expand globally, grow its team, and double down on product innovation, including tools to help users analyze what’s working and streamline fulfillment.
“Our goal is to take the complexity out of running a digital business, so creators can stay focused on what they do best,” said Alisha Mody, chief product officer at FanBasis.
“This funding gives us the fuel to move faster and double down on what’s working,” she said, “whether it’s smarter revenue tools, data-driven analytics, or one-click fulfillment systems.”
