The rapid rise of AI driven creator platforms is reshaping how digital talent builds sustainable businesses, and Fanvue is emerging as one of the most closely watched players in this shift. Fanvue has announced a major milestone with more than $100m in annualised revenue alongside a $22m Series A investment, underscoring growing investor confidence in AI powered creator monetisation as a core pillar of the future MarTech and creator economy.
Fanvue said the Series A round was led by Inner Circle, with participation from a group of founders, financiers, and cultural figures across sport and entertainment. The funding comes as Fanvue reports more than 17 million monthly active users and a creator base of around 250,000, many of whom are using AI tools built into the platform to scale earnings and operations.
Fanvue has positioned itself not as a competitor to legacy creator platforms, but as the foundation of what it calls the Creator AI Economy. The company believes that the next generation of creators will increasingly rely on technology to expand output, engagement, and revenue. According to Fanvue, more than 93 percent of creators on the platform have already used at least one proprietary AI tool, including analytics, voice, and content capabilities.

Investors backing the round share that long term view. Inner Circle has previously invested in companies such as Revolut, Anthropic, and xAI. James Cox, Co Founder of Inner Circle, said, “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 the category defining platform, enabling creators globally to monetise their audiences at scale. We’re proud to be their partner, opening up our community’s access, influence and distribution as they scale.”
The platform was launched in 2022 by former YouTuber Joel Morris alongside Co Founders Will Monange and Harry Fitzgerald. Morris has said Fanvue was built to address first hand frustrations creators face around ownership, monetisation, and fan relationships. Those ideas are reflected in the company’s core values of fan connection, creator freedom, and business ownership.

Fanvue reported a 450 percent year over year revenue increase and has expanded its global headcount from 42 to 115 employees in the past 12 months. The company operates primarily from its London headquarters in Canary Wharf and was recently named Fastest Growing Company in Europe at the International Business Awards.
Momentum has also been boosted by high profile creator adoption. Fanvue recently signed Alisha Lehmann, one of the most followed athletes on Instagram. Will Monange, Co Founder and CEO, said, “Announcing two major milestones for the business, the Series A and Alisha, in the same week, reinforces our vision that AI will enable the next generation of athletes and creators to build businesses and create new revenue streams on direct to fan monetisation platforms like Fanvue.”
More than 20,000 new creators joined Fanvue last month, with additional mainstream signings expected in early 2026. With fresh capital in place, Fanvue plans to accelerate global expansion, deepen AI investment, and continue hiring senior talent. As Fanvue scales beyond its $100m run rate, the company is positioning itself as a defining force in how creators monetise audiences in an increasingly AI driven economy.
