Ekhoo Raises $4.3M Through FasterCapital and Other Investors to Make Influencer Discovery More Data-Driven

Ekhoo, an influencer discovery and analytics platform, has closed a $4.3 million funding round led by FasterCapital alongside other participating investors, the company announced on September 22, 2026. The round follows an earlier $300,000 seed investment and will be directed toward expanding Ekhoo’s influencer database, strengthening its analytics engine, improving campaign discovery tools, and supporting international growth. Ekhoo currently tracks more than 220,000 influencers across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitch, with coverage spanning more than 150 countries.

"Ekhoo was created to bring transparency and structure to influencer discovery. Many brands know influencer marketing can be powerful, but they struggle to find the right creators, compare performance, and understand which partnerships are likely to deliver real value," said Camilla Lachman, Founder and CEO of Ekhoo. "Our goal is to make influencer discovery clearer, faster, and more data-driven. Raising $4.3 million through FasterCapital and other investors will help us expand our platform, improve our analytics, and support more brands and agencies worldwide."

Ekhoo’s product addresses a well-known pain point in influencer marketing: fragmentation. Brands and agencies typically contend with incomplete profiles, inconsistent engagement metrics and limited cross-platform comparability when sourcing creators. Ekhoo aggregates data from multiple social platforms and presents rankings, analytics and filters that allow users to search by country, platform, industry, language and other criteria, and to rank creators by reach, engagement, growth and other performance indicators.

Hesham Zreik, CEO of FasterCapital, framed the investment as part of the incubator’s broader venture-building mission: "We are pleased to welcome Ekhoo to FasterCapital’s portfolio and to support the company in raising $4.3 million alongside other investors. Influencer marketing is growing rapidly, but many brands still lack reliable tools to discover and evaluate creators. Ekhoo is addressing this gap by bringing structure, analytics, and transparency to influencer discovery." Zreik added that FasterCapital will work with Ekhoo on product refinement, growth strategy, investor readiness and international expansion.

Product scope and planned use of proceeds

  • Database expansion: increase coverage across social platforms and geographies beyond the current 220,000 influencers in 150+ countries.
  • Analytics and rankings: strengthen signals for reach, engagement and creator growth to improve campaign fit assessments.
  • Filtering and discovery: enhance searchability by geography, industry and language to help brands find niche or regional creators.
  • Tools for campaign assessment: develop features that quantify creator quality and likely campaign performance to reduce misallocated budgets.

FasterCapital, which is based in Dubai and was established in 2014, describes itself as a global venture builder and online incubator. The firm says it has supported over 1,642 startups in raising more than $2.8 billion and has directly invested over $1 billion, offering programs that span fundraising, technical development and market expansion.

With the new funding, Ekhoo aims to sharpen its value proposition to advertisers and agencies looking for measurable influencer marketing outcomes. The company positions itself as a solution for both emerging brands seeking affordable creator partnerships and larger agencies managing cross-platform campaigns, promising more transparent, searchable and data-driven influencer discovery to reduce guesswork and improve ROI on influencer spend.
