Company mission

To empower every creator and collective to build a community-powered business.

Our take

Membership and fan community platforms are all the rage nowadays, many artists and creators use Patreon or Onlyfans to monetise their content as so much is given away for free on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Likened to Onlyfans, Fanhouse is a new platform stepping onto the scene with a mission to support billions of creators to profit off their work and create genuine fan communities with healthy online social interactions

Connected to other platforms like Spotify users can see who their top fans are and treat them specially across the app to say thanks. Other features include locked content and custom requests. The company recently acquired funding including support from well-known artists The Chain Smokers who also use the platform. This connection along with support from other large names like Jeff Morris Jr has definitely created the buzz the company needs to trampoline into success.

Co-founder Rosie Nguyen is a content creator themself and this has supported the organic DNA of the company makeup but also confirmed the understanding of what the company is trying to support. Going up against already well recognised platforms like Patreon may present a challenge to Fanhouse but the team without a doubt has ambition and backing so it’ll be exciting to see what this young company flourishes to be.
