FAN PLATFORM LIMITED

What FAN PLATFORM LIMITED does

Fan Platform Limited is a UK-based private limited company that develops bespoke software to automate video workflows, with a stated specialization in YouTube video upload automation. The platform relies on Google OAuth for user authentication and requires YouTube upload authorization as a scope, positioning its core technical capability around programmatic video upload scheduling, manipulation, and YouTube channel management. The product offering is described as a unified video automation platform; no distinct product names, modules, or AI-driven features are disclosed, and there is no public API, SDK, or mobile app.

Commercially, the company operates a direct-to-consumer model, selling software access through its website (fanplatform.co.uk) and supporting customers via a single email contact ([email protected]). Terms & Conditions (dated January 2017) establish a subscription-style licensing model in which customers pay a "pre-determined amount" for a "pre-determined time frame," with full payment required before service authorization and no guaranteed uptime. Specific pricing tiers, amounts, and customer counts are not publicly disclosed. The website itself displays "Full Website Launching Soon," indicating the company is in a pre-launch or soft-launch phase as of the latest data point.

The customer base is described as horizontal, targeting video content creators — particularly YouTube channel managers and SMB/individual users who need to reduce manual video upload effort. No named customer logos, case studies, partnerships beyond the Google/YouTube OAuth integration, awards, patents, or external funding are evident. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, or management team beyond the founder-level "David" contact, and its history is marked by foundational legal scaffolding (2017 T&Cs, 2019 website, 2020 Privacy Policy update) rather than commercial milestones.
