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

“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. “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.”

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

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.”
