Passes, a platform supporting creators, has successfully closed a $40M Series A funding round led by Bond Capital, with Mood Rowghani joining the board. In just 14 months since its inception, Passes has paid out tens of millions to approximately 1000 creators, enabling them to buy houses, pay off loans, and quit their day jobs. This funding round marks a significant milestone for Passes and its founder, Lucy Guo, who has been recognized for her early success in this third venture. Investors, including Outlander VC, Abstract VC, and Antifund VC, have expressed their excitement and pride in being part of Passes' journey from the beginning, highlighting the company's rapid growth and the visionary leadership of Lucy Guo. Notably, seed investors Jake Paul and Geoffrey Woo took an early bet on Lucy Guo, demonstrating confidence in her ability to build the software/AI infrastructure for the next generation of creators.
