Paranoid Fan

What Paranoid Fan does

Paranoid Fan is a Dallas-based, privately held company founded in 2014 that is building a mapping and food delivery platform oriented around live experiences. The stated concept integrates geospatial mapping of events or venues with an on-demand food delivery layer, targeting consumers attending live experiences (concerts, sports, and similar gatherings). The company is led by founder and CEO Agustin Gonzalez and operates with a small team of 11-50 employees.

The business has progressed through the Techstars accelerator (2016) and raised approximately $2.97M across four disclosed funding rounds between 2016 and 2019, including participation from Techstars, Techstars Connection, Right Side Capital Management, and ZX Ventures (AB InBev's corporate venture arm). The ZX Ventures relationship is the most strategically suggestive signal, implying potential distribution alignment with AB InBev's venue and event ecosystem. No public pricing model, customer count, revenue figures, partnerships, or product feature detail are disclosed in the available data; one primary source block was a verification/loading page yielding no extractable information. As a result, the company's current revenue model, unit economics, product surface, and post-2019 trajectory cannot be characterized beyond the high-level concept.

The company remains a small, early-stage private venture with limited recent public information. Key gaps include absence of disclosed revenue or GMV, no documented product launches after 2019, no recent funding events, and no named customers or partners beyond the investor set. The most recent observable signal is the December 2019 capital event, after which public data is silent.
