FanBasis Raises $20M Series A to Power the Next Generation of Digital Businesses

The full-stack growth infrastructure for internet entrepreneurs—FanBasis is now backed by Left Lane Capital and leading internet investors

MIAMI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FanBasis, an end-to-end ecosystem powering digital businesses, today announced a $20 million Series A funding round led by Left Lane Capital, with participation from notable celebrities and internet entrepreneurs Ryan Serhant, The Sidemen (via Upside Ventures), Gerard Piqué, and Connexa Capital.

FanBasis is redefining how creators build, manage, and grow high-margin, expertise-based businesses online. The platform unifies payments, fulfillment, course and community hosting, CRM, customer engagement, and business operations into one seamless tool—replacing the fragmented stack that most internet entrepreneurs rely on today. With FanBasis, creators can monetize and deliver in one place, operating with the sophistication of a full-scale business, not just a content channel.

"Creators and internet entrepreneurs don't just need software—they need a platform that acts as a growth partner," said Yash Daftary, Founder and CEO of FanBasis. "Today's creators are building real businesses, and they need infrastructure that moves as fast as they do. FanBasis gives them that foundation. 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."

From Content to Companies: The New Operators of the Internet Economy

The creators building on FanBasis span far beyond traditional influencers—they're internet educators, consultants, course creators, and founders monetizing specialized expertise. What unites them is the need for professional-grade infrastructure to support what are now full-scale online businesses. Whether you're a growth marketer selling paid advertising services, a fitness coach running challenges, or a consultant launching a digital community, FanBasis gives you the tools to build an enduring company.

FanBasis is already trusted by thousands of top digital operators worldwide that generate tens of millions monthly through the platform. With GMV tripling in the last few quarters alone, it has become the platform of choice for creators who prioritize ownership of their audience, brand, and operations.

"The creator economy is no longer about side hustles—it's about full-scale digital businesses," said Matt Hobbs, CFO at FanBasis. "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."

A Growing Movement of High-Profile Backers

FanBasis' investor lineup reflects its deep roots in internet culture and its ambition to shape the future of online entrepreneurship. Alongside Left Lane Capital, backers include Ryan Serhant, a top real estate entrepreneur and media personality; KSI, Vikkstar, Zerkaa, Miniminter & The Sidemen via Upside Ventures; and Gerard Piqué, an international footballer turned investor and operator.

"FanBasis has captured a powerful shift within the creator economy—the rise of knowledge-based entrepreneurs," said Matthew Miller, Partner at Left Lane Capital. "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. 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. Many FanBasis creators earn millions of dollars per year."

Fueling Product Innovation and Global Reach

With this funding, FanBasis will accelerate its product roadmap, expand its team, and grow its international footprint. Key initiatives include:

• Launching revenue tools that transform how entrepreneurs package and sell expertise
• Building analytics that surface which customer touchpoints drive business growth
• Expanding fulfillment features that turn complex delivery into one-click operations
• Scaling global infrastructure to better serve businesses at every stage

"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—whether it's smarter revenue tools, data-driven analytics, or one-click fulfillment systems. We're building the infrastructure layer behind modern digital businesses, helping creators operate at the level their ambition demands. And we're just getting started."
