AI-Powered Creator Monetisation Platform Fanvue Hits $100-M Run Rate and Raises $22M Series A

Fanvue, the AI-powered creator monetisation platform with a $100M+ annual run rate, has announced a $22M Series A investment round.

Fanvue’s growth has been rapid: revenue rose 450% YoY, and global staff increased from 42 to 115 in 12 months.

Fanvue has leveraged AI-powered tools to transform the creator industry, estimated to be worth over $500B by 2030.

The platform, which recently crossed $100M in annualised revenue, serves over 17 million monthly active users and 250,000 creators who utilise Fanvue’s proprietary AI tools to scale their businesses and increase earnings.

Rather than competing with legacy platforms, Fanvue is defining a new category: the Creator AI Economy.

According to the company, over 93% of creators use at least one of the platform’s AI tools, which include analytics, voice, and content creation tools.

The Series A was led by Inner Circle, backed by more than 50 exited founders, financiers, and cultural icons from sport and entertainment, with portfolios including Revolut, Anthropic, and xAI.

Other notable investors include René Rechtman, founder of Moonbug, and founders of the UK unicorn Marshmallow.

James Cox, Co-Founder of Inner Circle, commented: “AI is redefining the creator economy. Fanvue isn’t reacting to that shift; they are pioneering it. Joel, Will, Harry, and the team are building a category-defining platform, enabling creators globally to monetise their audiences at scale.”

Fanvue’s growth has been rapid: revenue rose 450% YoY, and global staff increased from 42 to 115 in 12 months.

The company operates from its London hub in Canary Wharf. Fanvue was recognized as the Fastest Growing Company in Europe at the International Business Awards (Stevies).

Recently, Swiss professional footballer Alisha Lehmann, with over 16 million Instagram followers, signed with Fanvue, marking a major milestone for the platform.

CEO Will Monange stated: “Announcing the Series A and Alisha’s signing in the same week reinforces our vision that AI will enable the next generation of athletes and creators to build businesses and new revenue streams on direct-to-fan platforms like Fanvue.”

The $22-M funding will accelerate Fanvue’s global expansion, enhance its AI capabilities, and invest in world-class talent to further develop the Creator AI Economy.
