Ekhoo raises $4.3M to expand influencer discovery platform

Ekhoo has raised $4.3 million from FasterCapital and other investors to grow its influencer discovery and analytics platform for brands, agencies, and marketers. The funding will support expansion of Ekhoo’s database, analytics tools, and international reach as influencer marketing demand continues to rise.

Why it matters: - Ekhoo is targeting a common pain point in influencer marketing: finding creators with reliable data, not guesswork. - The new funding gives the company more room to expand a platform built to help brands compare creators across markets, categories, and social channels. - Faster access to searchable, data-driven creator profiles can reduce wasted spend on poorly matched partnerships.

What happened: - Ekhoo raised $4.3 million through FasterCapital and other participating investors. - The company had previously secured $300,000 to support its early development and platform growth. - Ekhoo also joined FasterCapital’s portfolio as part of the transaction. - Camilla Lachman is the founder and CEO of Ekhoo.

The details: - Ekhoo tracks more than 220,000 influencers across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitch, and other channels. - The platform covers more than 150 countries. - Ekhoo offers rankings, analytics, filtering tools, and searchable influencer profiles. - Users can filter by country, platform, industry, language, and other criteria. - The platform ranks creators based on reach, engagement, growth, and other performance indicators. - Ekhoo aggregates influencer data from multiple social platforms and presents it through an analytics-driven interface. - The platform is designed for brands, agencies, and marketers of different sizes, including emerging brands and teams running multi-region campaigns. - FasterCapital said it will work with Ekhoo on product refinement, growth strategy, investor readiness, and international expansion. - Ekhoo plans to expand its influencer database, improve data coverage across social platforms, strengthen ranking and analytics features, enhance filtering by geography and industry, and build more tools to assess creator quality and campaign fit. - Ekhoo also plans to grow its international presence.

Between the lines: - Influencer marketing has grown into a major growth channel, but creator discovery remains fragmented across platforms with uneven metrics and incomplete profiles. - Ekhoo is positioning itself as a more structured alternative by turning creator discovery into a search-and-compare workflow. - FasterCapital’s involvement signals interest in startups that combine software tooling with venture-building support.

What's next: - Ekhoo will use the capital to expand its database and improve its analytics and filtering tools. - The company is also aiming to broaden its global footprint and support more brands and agencies looking for measurable influencer marketing decisions. - FasterCapital plans to continue backing Ekhoo with fundraising and growth support.

The bottom line: - Ekhoo is betting that influencer marketing will become more efficient once creator discovery is driven by data, not manual searching.
