Passionfroot secured $15 million in funding to accelerate the expansion of its B2B creator marketplace into the United States, the company announced today. The fresh capital aims to enhance the platform’s capabilities and broaden its reach among brands and creators in the US market, marking a key growth phase for the startup, according to techcrunch.com.
The funding round was led by existing investors alongside new backers, reflecting strong confidence in Passionfroot’s business model. The marketplace connects brands with creators for marketing collaborations, streamlining campaign management and payments. The company plans to use the proceeds to scale its US operations, improve product features, and increase hiring to support the expansion, techcrunch.com reported.
This raise comes amid growing demand for creator-driven marketing solutions as brands seek more authentic engagement channels.

Passionfroot’s expansion will focus on onboarding US-based creators and brands, with plans to introduce new tools tailored to the market’s needs.
