FanVestor

A platform for fans who want to invest in creators

FanVestor describes itself as a platform for fan-powered ventures, where people can invest in talent, musicians and athletes. It specializes in creator-driven securities and digital securities, which it calls S-NFTs, in the worlds of music, sport and entertainment. The company says it holds a full set of regulatory approvals covering both equity crowdfunding and digital securities.

Tokenized securities and the offering types it supports

The core service is tokenized securities and investments. The company says it supports Regulation Crowdfunding offerings, Regulation D offerings and Regulation A+ offerings, and that each can be built to run on either Web2 or Web3 systems. That lets a creator, a band or a sports figure raise money from supporters under the structure that suits the raise.

Products, charity and NFTs

Beyond investment offerings, FanVestor says its product launches give fans a wide range of e-commerce and tiered purchase options, and these can come with perks and benefits. It also describes a charity giving engine that it says can handle any charity or charitable initiative a creator wants to promote. Creator-driven NFTs bought through the site are created on the Ethereum, Polygon or Stellar networks, and buyers can resell them on the popular NFT marketplaces.

How the operation is structured

The site explains that it is run by a technology service provider and does not itself give investment advice or act as a broker-dealer. Crowdfunding offerings are conducted by a funding portal subsidiary that is registered with the SEC and is a FINRA member, while Regulation D and A+ offerings run through an independent, unaffiliated broker-dealer. The securities posted are offered by the issuers themselves, who are responsible for the information about them. The site also stresses that investments of this kind are speculative and illiquid and can lose all of the money put in.
