“Unleashing the Power of Instagram Stories and Tempting Traps: FYPM’s $275K Success Story”
Her company Fuck You Pay Me (FYPM), which is like a Glassdoor for influencers, raised a $275K seed extension solely via Instagram stories, with no pitch deck.
On the platform, creators can review brands they’ve worked with, and share data like how much they were paid, how long it took for them to get paid.
So, with the new funding, Lurgin wants to remove these technical barriers to scale, without damaging the quality of the product.
Lurgin wants to make sure that creators and talent managers can access this information for free, so long as they upload verified reviews.
She also wants FYPM to develop an API, allowing talent companies to upload their own data directly to the platform.
