description: Fanhouse was a creator-subscription social platform, backed by a16z, that let fans pay creators directly for
  exclusive posts, photos, and community access rather than through ad-driven feeds. It was surfaced as an a16z portfolio
  company and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. The original product operated at fanhouse.app,
  which no longer resolves to the company (it now redirects to an unrelated domain), indicating the a16z-backed platform is
  defunct. No public developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition, or other machine-readable API surface could
  be located for the original Fanhouse product, so no scored API artifacts could be produced without fabrication. This profile
  is retained as a company/lead record.
