Explore Your Options NowHarry Gestetner and Simon Pompan are the co-founders and co-CEOs of Fanfix, a platform that lets Gen Z content creators monetize their fan base. Friends since high school, they launched the platform when they were in their junior year of college and sold it a year later for 8-figures, just days after graduating. In only 11 months, Harry and Simon grew Fanfix to become the leading monetization platform for Gen Z content creators, with over 9 million creators and fans and 8-figures in annual revenue.
Fanfix has processed hundreds of thousands of transactions and has individual creators earning millions of dollars in annual income through the platform.

The acquisition allows Fanfix to leverage SuperOrdinary’s portfolio of 140 brands to facilitate social commerce, white label products, and co-create creator brands. Both Harry and Simon are staying on as Co-CEOs of Fanfix, as well as being Senior VPs at SuperOrdinary.
