Creator platform Influish raises pre-seed funding from Clovia co-founder and others

Influish, a creator platform, has raised a pre-seed round of funding from Clovia co-founder Pankaj Vermani and angel investors Jeetendra Tewani and Sachin Harneja.

The funding amount was not disclosed.

According to a statement, Influish is the first startup in CoFounder Circle Accelerator, a venture creation and acceleration platform founded by entrepreneur Darpan Sanghvi.

Influish will use the funding on product development and to strengthen its Meta API-powered capabilities and expand creator workflow tools and monetisation offerings.

Founded by Sankalp Nag, Tushar Jain, and Shivani Rajora, Influish is a platform that provides access to verified Instagram insights through official Meta APIs and enables discovery of brand collaborations. It also offers learning resources and growth tools such as Auto-DM automation, and streamlines creator-brand partnerships through structured workflows and payments.

The startup says it has already onboarded 5 lakh creators and is recording a 50% month-on-month revenue growth. It is targeting Rs 100 crore annual recurring revenue by December 2027.

Influish co-founder & CEO Sankalp Nag said, “This fundraise is a strong validation of our vision to build the home of creators. While most platforms focus on helping creators secure campaigns, we're building the infrastructure layer that helps them grow, learn, earn, and manage their entire journey from a single platform.”

Influish says it is building the complete infrastructure and ecosystem required for the creator economy. The platform combines creator growth tools, verified performance insights, and educational resources. It also offers collaboration opportunities, AI-powered utilities, and structured creator-brand workflows within a single experience.

Going forward, Influish aims to expand its creator growth suite, strengthen monetisation opportunities, launch new AI-powered tools, improve brand and agency dashboards, and build deeper payment and collaboration infrastructure.

Clovia co-founder Pankaj Verma said, “The creator economy is rapidly evolving, and we believe the next wave of value creation will come from platforms that empower creators beyond just brand collaborations.”
