About FanCraze
FanCraze is a digital collectibles company focused on the global cricket market, founded in 2021 by Anshum Bhambri, Kushagra Kohli, and Sundar Raman. The company is developing a sports metaverse, offering fans officially licensed digital collectibles, or NFTs, that capture iconic moments from cricket matches. This venture is supported by a significant Series A funding round of $100 million, led by Insight Partners and B Capital, with notable participation from Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India, and Cristiano Ronaldo. The company's first funding round was in November 2021.
The founding team combines deep expertise in finance, technology, and sports management. Anshum Bhambri, the CEO, has a background in investment banking and financial mathematics from Stanford University and the University of Chicago. Kushagra Kohli is a serial entrepreneur, and Sundar Raman brings extensive experience as the former COO of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Their collective vision is to leverage NFTs to create a direct connection between intellectual property owners and their fan bases. FanCraze operates on a model where it partners with major cricket organizations, including a landmark agreement with the International Cricket Council (ICC), to create and sell these digital assets. The company has since extended this partnership to launch a Web3 fantasy game called ICC Crictos SuperTeam.
The platform allows users to buy, sell, and trade video NFTs of celebrated moments in cricket history on the Flow blockchain. Revenue is generated from the initial sale of these collectible packs and transaction fees on its secondary marketplace. Beyond simply owning collectibles, users can participate in play-to-earn games, build collections, and engage in fantasy sports leagues to win cash prizes and exclusive real-world experiences. This model aims to deepen fan engagement by combining the thrill of collecting with interactive gaming and tangible rewards. With an expanding user base across more than 100 countries, FanCraze is positioned to capitalize on the convergence of sports fandom and the digital asset economy.
