The Fan Engine

About the offering

The Fan Engine is a dynamic platform designed to empower organizations in sports, entertainment, eSports, gaming, and charitable sectors to connect, manage, and monetize their communities with precision and ease. Originally launched in 2016 as Fullcube to build NASCAR’s first fan base platform, it has since evolved into a comprehensive, turnkey solution that integrates seamlessly with existing systems—no custom build required. From experiential memberships and subscriptions to merchandise programs and advanced marketing services, The Fan Engine collaborates with industry giants like This Old House, The Culinary Institute of America, and SkinWalker Ranch, delivering tailored technology that boosts audience engagement and revenue while slashing overhead costs. A standout offering is Fan Engine NIL, introduced in 2021, which provides cutting-edge Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) compliance and management software for college collectives and universities. Partnering with top-tier institutions like the University of Iowa and West Virginia University, this platform streamlines athlete management, predicts cash flows, and enhances donor experiences with insider programs—all backed by a recent U.S. patent for automated social media tracking and valuation tech. Coupled with Fan Engine Marketing’s innovative data acquisition—legally capturing insights from stadiums or events—and a strategic alliance with MiCamp, a $50B credit card processor, The Fan Engine is redefining how communities thrive, offering unmatched analytics, payment processing, and subscriber retention tools to drive sustainable growth. Problem The Monetization Maze: Untangling Community Chaos For businesses managing communities—spanning sports, entertainment, eSports, and charities—turning fan loyalty into sustainable revenue is a labyrinth of challenges. Data management, security, compliance, and community engagement demand hefty integrations, steep time commitments, and rising costs, while inefficiencies, limited resources, and fractured communication stifle growth and leave potential profits untapped. Solution Fueling Success: The Fan Engine’s Game-Changing Solution The Fan Engine delivers a premium, all-in-one managed service platform that transforms the chaos of community monetization into a streamlined, revenue-driving powerhouse. Unlike rigid, generic tools, our modular, customizable system integrates seamlessly with existing setups to manage audiences, boost subscriber retention, and monetize through memberships, subscriptions, and merchandise—empowering sports, entertainment, eSports, and charitable organizations to focus on their core passion while we handle the heavy lifting of data, compliance, and workflows. And, with Fan Engine NIL, we’re revolutionizing college collectives by offering end-to-end NIL compliance, athlete management, and donor engagement, backed by patented tech for social media tracking and predictive cash flows. Paired with our cutting-edge marketing data acquisition, ticket/raffle/event management and a MiCamp partnership slashing transaction costs, we guarantee increased fanbase growth, reduced churn, and lower overhead—delivering analytics, payment processing, and on-call support that roots communities for unprecedented success. Business Model Powering Profits: The Fan Engine’s Winning Business Model The Fan Engine operates a scalable, service-driven business model that combines subscription-based software with high-value managed services, targeting sports (NIL), entertainment, eSports, and charitable organizations.

By acquiring NIL Management Systems and leveraging patented technology, we secure a defensible edge, driving long-term growth through client retention, upselling advanced features, and expanding into new community-driven markets—all while delivering measurable ROI through increased subscriber revenue and reduced churn. Market Projection Billion-Dollar Boom: The Fan Engine’s Industry Is Ready to Explode The Fan Engine is capitalizing on a booming community engagement market, valued at $232 billion in North America in 2024, and a creator economy projected to hit $528.39 billion by 2030 from $191.55 billion today. With subscription companies facing a $129 billion churn loss in 2025, its all-in-one platform is primed to seize a huge share of this trillion-dollar market by unlocking new revenue and slashing inefficiencies. This is a gold rush, and The Fan Engine is leading the charge. Targeting sports, entertainment, eSports, and charities, it leverages patented tech and partnerships to dominate the NIL space and beyond, offering scalable solutions in a market hungry for innovation as it races toward massive growth. Competition Rivals in the Rearview: The Fan Engine Outpaces the Pack The Fan Engine stands tall in a crowded field of community engagement platforms, outpacing big names like Patreon and Substack, which dominate creator subscriptions, and specialized NIL players like Teamworks and Opendorse.While these competitors excel in their niches, they lack the comprehensive, turnkey power of The Fan Engine’s modular, API-driven system that integrates seamlessly with clients’ preferred vendors. This flexibility reduces operational chaos and costs, setting it apart from rigid, one-size-fits-all tools that lock users into limited ecosystems. Add its patented social media tracking and valuation technology, and The Fan Engine leaves fragmented rivals struggling to solve the full scope of monetization challenges. The competition is heating up, but The Fan Engine is rewriting the playbook. Unlike single-focus platforms—think Eventbrite for ticketing, Sprout Social for analytics, or INFLCR for compliance—it offers a unified, all-in-one solution tailored to sports, entertainment, eSports, and charitable sectors. Its unique emphasis on collectives, such as student-athlete groups and premium media companies, combined with powerhouse partnerships like MiCamp and N/code, gives it unmatched versatility and reach. In a trillion-dollar market where rivals vie for narrow slices, The Fan Engine’s scalability and innovation position it as the frontrunner poised to dominate. Traction & Customers Revving Up Results: The Fan Engine’s Proven Traction In 2024, the company generated $425,000 in revenue, boasting a robust 25% average quarterly growth rate, and is on track to surpass $1.1 million in 2025, fueled by new client wins and lucrative upselling of premium features like Fan Engine NIL and marketing services. This financial momentum reflects the platform’s ability to deliver tangible value, turning community engagement into predictable, growing cash flows for clients. Beyond revenue, The Fan Engine’s client metrics tell a story of stickiness and satisfaction, with 30 active clients projected by 2026 and an exceptional 90% retention rate—proof of strong product adoption across sports, entertainment, and charity sectors. Partnerships with heavyweights like N/code, Specificity, MediaWorks 360, and Guidon Creative, alongside a client roster featuring This Old House and top NIL collectives, amplify brand credibility and open doors to a $232B North American community engagement market, positioning The Fan Engine as the go-to managed service platform in a trillion-dollar space.

NOTE TO INVESTORS ABOUT THE SPV Regulation Crowdfunding allows an issuer to use a special purpose vehicle, or SPV. The technical legal term is a “crowdfunding vehicle.” In this case, while the name of the Company itself is The Fan Engine, Inc., the name of the SPV is The Fan Engine SPV, LLC. You and all the other Regulation Crowdfunding investors will invest in The Fan Engine SPV, LLC and The Fan Engine SPV, LLC will, in turn, use your money to invest in The Fan Engine, Inc. Hence, The Fan Engine SPV, LLC will be reflected as one investor in The Fan Engine, Inc. The Fan Engine, Inc. believes this structure – with one investor rather than many – will make it easier to raise additional capital in the future because the Offering will leave the Company with only one investor on its capitalization table. The Fan Engine SPV, LLC will conduct no business other than to invest in The Fan Engine, Inc. The SPV has been organized and will be operated for the sole purpose of directly acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company’s securities, will not borrow money and will use all the proceeds from the sale of its securities solely to purchase a single class of securities of the Company. The Fan Engine SPV, LLC will be managed by the Company itself. The Company’s use of the SPV is intended to allow investors in the SPV to achieve the same economic exposure, voting power, and ability to assert State and Federal law rights, and receive the same disclosures, as if they had invested directly in the Company. The Company’s use of the SPV will not result in any additional fees being charged to investors. Although The Fan Engine, Inc. is a corporation, you will be an owner of The Fan Engine SPV, LLC, which is a limited liability company. Hence, you will receive IRS Form K-1 for tax reporting purposes. All the information about “the Company” in this Form C refers to The Fan Engine, Inc., not to The Fan Engine SPV, LLC unless otherwise indicated. NOTE TO INVESTORS: As explained above, you will invest in The Fan Engine SPV, LLC, not in the Company directly. You will receive an interest in The Fan Engine SPV, LLC called “Investor Units” while The Fan Engine SPV, LLC will receive units of Common Units issued by the Company. The governing documents of The Fan Engine SPV, LLC, being its Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement (EXHIBIT E and EXHIBIT G), and the Investor Units to be issued to you from The Fan Engine SPV, LLC, are intended to put you in the same position as if you had purchased units of Common Units directly from the Company. Voting Proxy to the Manager The SPV investor units do not have voting rights. With respect to those voting rights, the investor and his, her, or its transferees or assignees (collectively, the “Investor”), through a voting proxy granted by Investor in the subscription agreement (Exhibit C), has appointed or will appoint the Manager, The Fan Engine, Inc., as the Investor’s true and lawful proxy (the “Proxy”) with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, on behalf of the Investor to: (i) vote all securities related to the Company purchased in an offering hosted by PicMii Crowdfunding, LLC, and (ii) execute, in connection with such voting power any instrument or document that the Manager determines is necessary and appropriate in the exercise of his or her authority. The Investor Units shall have one hundred percent (100%) of the economic rights and no management rights other than to replace the Manager upon a majority vote at a duly called meeting. The Manager Units shall be held only by The Fan Engine, Inc., or its affiliates or assigns. The Manager Units will confer no economic rights but shall confer one hundred percent (100%) of the management authority to the holders of the Manager Units. The holders of Manager Units shall have all rights necessary to manage the business affairs of the Company, including but not limited to, the authority to direct the acquisition, holding, and disposition of the Company’s assets, and to make all decisions regarding the Company’s operations without requiring the consent of the holders of the Investor Units, subject to limitations in Delaware state law, participation in tender offers, mergers, acquisitions, or any other matters requiring shareholder approval.
