Yash Daftary — Founder
I’ve been building businesses since I was 13. At 17, I had my first exit - after scaling a startup to 16,000 users and raising six figures in non-dilutive capital. That led to venture. I spent the next few years investing in early-stage SaaS and fintech companies at Storm Ventures and MBX Capital. But I didn’t want to stay on the sidelines. So I left VC and went all in on building again. That’s when I launched FanBasis. Originally a platform helping celebrities monetize fan experiences. In the first year, we onboarded 350+ influencers and did 7-figures in GMV. But something clicked in 2023. The top earners weren’t just selling shoutouts or fan calls. They were selling digital products, coaching, communities, and info services. So we pivoted. We turned FanBasis into the infrastructure layer for anyone selling digital anything - products, services, communities, coaching, you name it. And the growth exploded. → 338% avg seller growth within 12 months → 3,500+ creators, coaches, and agencies onboarded → Built-in BNPL, smart payment routing, automations, and more I built FanBasis to solve the real problems I faced scaling my own info product and agency: 🚫 No-code chaos 🚫 Failed payments 🚫 Stripe shutdowns 🚫 Overpromised platforms 🚫 Underdelivered results Now we help set up high-ticket digital entrepreneurs for success. ✅ Buy Now Pay Later & custom payment plans built to convert. ✅ Smart payment routing (so failed payments don’t stay failed). ✅ Full automation from checkout to access (courses, Discord, Circle, etc.). ✅ Upsells, order bumps, affiliate stacking - all in one. ✅ 5,000+ integrations so you can keep what works and ditch what doesn’t.
