DotMe, a leading link-in-bio platform for creators, has successfully raised $150,000 in funding, bringing its valuation to $1.25 million. The investment round was led by Mirza L. Baig, a strategic investor and former co-founder of Jimmy’s Cocktails, known for his expertise in brand-building and business scaling. This funding marks a significant milestone for DotMe as it continues to expand its platform and simplify monetization for digital creators.
Founded by Harsh Vijaykumar, Ajay Ghanti, Pranay Jain, and Akshay ND, DotMe has emerged as a key player in the creator economy, offering a comprehensive suite of tools that empower creators to connect, monetize, and engage with their audiences. With a growing user base of over 100,000 unique monthly visitors, the platform has evolved beyond just a tool—it has become a cultural hub for influencers, artists, and brands. Notable users include collectives like Sunburn Union, breakout fitness influencer Justin Joy (Hyperfitx), DJs like Almost Human, and popular entertainment venues like FLO and Chin Lungs.
The new capital infusion will enable DotMe to enhance its platform’s capabilities, introduce advanced monetization features, and strengthen creator-brand collaborations. Speaking on the investment, Mirza Baig emphasized the platform’s potential: “The creator economy is evolving rapidly, and DotMe is at the forefront of this transformation. They’re not just developing tools; they’re shaping the future of how creators and brands connect.”
Baig, a seasoned industry leader with 28 years of experience, has a strong track record in scaling brands and driving business growth. As the former CMO of Jimmy’s Cocktails, he achieved 300% year-on-year growth and currently leads Hammerhead Global, an award-winning experiential marketing firm. His expertise and connections within the creator ecosystem will play a crucial role in DotMe’s strategic expansion.
The global creator economy is experiencing exponential growth, projected to surge from $127.65 billion in 2023 to $528.39 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 22.5%. In India alone, the digital content creation market is expected to reach $4.40 billion by 2030, fueled by over 100 million content creators.
