BELONGING
Fanzai
Anime and manga social platform
WEBSITE
fanzai.app ↗WHAT THEY DO
Fanzai pairs a watchlist tracker with community chat, creator posts and fandom-specific communities. People arrive for the utility and stay for the social graph that forms around it.
WHY WE INVESTED
One of the largest anime audiences in the world is scattered across tools that were never built for it. The tracker earns a daily open, which is the hard part of consumer social, and the community is where it compounds.
THE LAYER
Belonging
Social communities and fandom platforms where the community is the product and the social graph is the moat.
