🤳🏽 About Bump
Bump is the #1 wealth-building platform for creators, providing financial management tools to track income, assess market value, and access credit. By partnering with major institutions like Visa, Mastercard, and Bell Bank, Bump is modernizing underwriting for the creator economy and unlocking financial independence for millions of creators.
💡 Why We Invested in Bump
🚀 Massive Market Opportunity – The creator economy is valued at $250B+ globally, with over 22 million creators in North America alone. Despite their influence, creators lack access to tailored financial services. Bump is changing that.
📈 Proven Traction & Growth – With 15,000+ active users, enterprise partnerships with Visa, Mastercard, and Bell Bank, and $650K+ in enterprise revenue already realized, Bump is proving its model and scaling fast.
⚡ Community-Driven Impact – By redefining financial services for underrepresented and underbanked creators, Bump ensures they get paid, build credit, and grow their businesses.
👥 Led by an A-Team – CEO James Jones Jr., an entertainment lawyer turned fintech founder, has deep experience in the creator economy. Backed by a high-caliber team including ex-Amazon engineers and fintech leaders from KPMG and BNY Mellon, Bump is well-positioned to execute at scale.
🔥 Why This Matters for Ganas Ventures – We invest in startups that leverage community as a competitive moat. Bump aligns perfectly with our thesis, joining our portfolio of companies that are rethinking fintech and financial accessibility.
💰 Market Opportunity & Impact
The fintech for creators space is massively underserved. The rise of independent digital entrepreneurs has outpaced the financial industry’s ability to serve them, leaving millions without the banking and credit access they need. Bump is filling this gap by leveraging proprietary income tracking, real-time market valuation, and creator-optimized credit underwriting to build the future of creator finance.
📊 Traction & Growth
✅ $650K+ in enterprise revenue from Visa, Mastercard, and Bell Bank
✅ 15,000+ active creators using the platform
✅ 2.5M+ creators in the pipeline
✅ High retention with 98%+ of active users staying engaged
✅ Enterprise contracts in place with top financial institutions
Bump isn’t just building another fintech app. They’re creating a new financial infrastructure for the creator economy—and the market is responding.
