DotMe secures USD $150,000 in funding from Mirza L. Baig

DotMe has secured USD $150,000 in funding, reaching a valuation of USD $1.25 million, with investment from Mirza L. Baig, the former Co-founder of Jimmy's Cocktails.

This financial support will assist DotMe in enhancing its platform offerings, simplifying monetisation processes, and strengthening the connection between creators and brands.

DotMe has established itself as a prominent name in the link-in-bio industry with a significant user base. The platform has become a key player in creator-audience engagement, attracting over 100,000 unique monthly users. Notable collaboratives such as Sunburn Union, established creators like Justin Joy (Hyperfitx), and venues including FLO and Chin Lungs utilise the platform.

The investment aligns strategically for DotMe as the creator economy experiences rapid growth. Mirza L. Baig stated, "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."

With 28 years of experience in brand development and business incubation, Baig's involvement is expected to guide DotMe's growth. In his previous role as Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Jimmy's Cocktails, he contributed to a 300% year-on-year growth. Baig also leads Hammerhead Global, an experiential marketing firm, further augmenting DotMe's potential within the creator sector.

DotMe's leadership, comprising CEO Harsh Vijaykumar and his co-founders Ajay Ghanti, Pranay Jain, and Akshay ND, is focused on transforming the link-in-bio space to support the expanding creator economy. The team has a proven track record with their earlier success in establishing Brandemic, a creative and tech agency.

Harsh Vijaykumar commented, "The creator economy is evolving beyond content into a powerful ecosystem of commerce and community. At DotMe, we're building the infrastructure that helps creators showcase their work, monetise effectively, and forge stronger connections with their audiences. With Mirza's strategic backing and industry expertise, we are poised to scale rapidly, introduce innovative features, and transform how creators and brands collaborate in the digital space."

The creator economy continues to expand, with the global market expected to increase from USD $127.65 billion in 2023 to USD $528.39 billion by 2030. The Indian digital content creation market alone is projected to reach USD $4.40 billion by 2030, supported by over 100 million creators.

Platforms like DotMe are becoming crucial as creators seek efficient methods to monetise and engage audiences. With recent funding and strategic support, DotMe is well-equipped to harness this growth opportunity and redefine the cooperation between creators and brands in the digital domain.
