Influur, a leading professional networking platform for influencers founded by visionary Latinas – Alessandra Angelini, Valeria Angelini, Paula Coleman, and Fefi Oliveira – announced the closing of a $10 million Series A, led by Point72 Ventures and HTwenty Capital.
This funding highlights Influur’s hypergrowth, such as an 83% increase in its verified influencer base and a 200% rise in brand spend across the US and Latin America. And the company now has over 30K active influencers and 5,000 brands on its platform across 11 countries.
Influur has created a comprehensive platform for the creator economy that goes beyond traditional influencer marketing. And it is a global community that enables influencers to monetize their talent, expand their reach, and grow their businesses. And it streamlines connections between brands and influencers, allowing them to build meaningful relationships and impactful campaigns together. And unlike platforms that rely on scraping data, Influur ensures all its influencers are verified and registered, making it a trusted platform for both the creator community and brands.
Influur is also introducing an industry-first AI feature to help brands plan the right influencer campaigns and predict its impact; a new Premium Subscription for influencers with advanced analytics, AI-powered media kit creation, and access to exclusive campaigns and events; as well as a suite of fintech tools designed to manage earnings, payouts, and financial insights – positioning the platform to be the future bank for influencers.
Influur has quickly become a leader in the influencer space, driven by its adoption of top influencers like Lele Pons and Twan Kuyper; global brand customers including Meta, Warner Music Group, Paramount, Netflix, UberEats, Hard Rock Cafe, MasterCard, and TikTok; and investment from key figures from the music and entertainment industries, including Colombian actress Sofia Vergara, singer and actress Thalía, entertainment executive Luis Balaguer, and Latin World Entertainment. Additional investors include Magma Partners, Daedalus, IGNIA, Redwood, Vamos Ventures, Amplifica Capital, and Daniel Gutenberg.
Influur is developing an AI-based recommendation system that will be integrated directly into Pulse, its desktop application. And it will be engineered to recommend the strategy of a campaign as well as predict the investment and impact of influencer marketing campaigns within moments, offering unprecedented foresight and budget efficiency. It will be the only recommendation system of its kind available in the market, positioning Influur at the forefront of innovation in influencer marketing and brand campaigns.
