Fanbase

Fanbase is a social media platform that allows content creators to monetize their work. The platform positions itself as a "next-generation social creator hub" and combines social engagement features, similar to platforms like Instagram and TikTok, with monetization options often found on services like Patreon or Twitch.

The business model is centered around providing creators with multiple revenue streams. Creators can monetize various types of content, including short-form and long-form videos, images, stories, livestreams, and audio rooms. Monetization is facilitated through direct user subscriptions and a virtual currency called "LOVE". A key differentiator for Fanbase is its ad-free experience for users, which also means creators do not rely on ad revenue. The company also emphasizes a policy of not "shadowbanning" creators, aiming to provide a more transparent and supportive environment.

Fanbase serves a market of content creators seeking direct monetization from their audience and users who want an ad-free social media experience. By offering equity in the company to its users, Fanbase is also exploring a model of shared ownership, allowing its community to invest and have a stake in the platform's success.
