Who funded fomo.family, and what does that tell you?
Three rounds, two well-known lead investors, and a list of crypto-famous angels. What each round was — and why a well-funded company is not the same as a safe place for your money.

Quick answer. fomo (FOMO Labs Inc.) has announced three funding rounds: a $2 million pre-seed (February 2025), a $17 million Series A led by Benchmark (November 2025), and a $75 million Series B led by Index Ventures (June 2026). Strong funding says nothing about whether your money is safe.
fomo.family — the trading app run by the company FOMO Labs Inc. — has announced three funding rounds since early 2025, the largest a $75 million Series B led by Index Ventures. Big names and big numbers are usually the first thing you meet when you read about a new crypto platform, and they are easy to mistake for a safety rating. They are not one. This page lists each round fomo has announced, names the investors who led them, and then explains the one thing all of it does not tell you: whether your own money is safe on the platform. Every figure here is fomo’s own published number, taken from its funding announcements (knowledge base sources S032 and S035), read on 10 September 2026.
What funding rounds has fomo.family raised?
fomo has announced three rounds. In its own words, the pre-seed was $2 million backed by more than 140 angel investors (February 2025); the Series A was $17 million led by Benchmark, which fomo said brought its total funding to $19 million (6 November 2025); and the Series B was $75 million led by Index Ventures, with participation from Union Square Ventures and existing investor Benchmark (22 June 2026). The Series B is the most recent round in fomo’s announcements.
| Round | Announced | Amount | Lead investor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Seed | February 2025 | $2 million | No single lead (140+ angels) |
| Series A | 6 November 2025 | $17 million | Benchmark |
| Series B | 22 June 2026 | $75 million | Index Ventures |
Two cautions before you carry these numbers anywhere. First, they are the company’s own announcements, not audited filings or regulator disclosures — so attribute them to fomo and to the date, the way this page does. Second, do not add the three rounds together: the only combined figure fomo itself states is the $19 million it reported at the Series A. Anything larger is not a number any source here supports.
Who are the investors behind fomo.family?
Two venture firms led fomo’s priced rounds: Benchmark led the Series A, and Index Ventures led the Series B, with Union Square Ventures and Benchmark also taking part in the later round. The earlier pre-seed was spread across more than 140 angel investors rather than a single lead. fomo’s own announcements name individual angels, several of them well-known founders and investors in crypto, and you can read who they are — and one overlap worth knowing about — on who is behind fomo.family. That page also makes a point this one repeats because it matters: fomo does not name a founder or any executive anywhere on its own site, as of 10 September 2026.
Does raising $75 million make fomo.family safe to use?
No, and this is the part worth slowing down on. Funding is money that investors pay to the company. It tells you the company is real, that experienced backers judged it worth investing in, and that it has cash to build with. It tells you nothing about what happens to your money once it is on the platform. Those are two different pockets: the company’s balance sheet, and your wallet.
fomo’s own Terms make the gap explicit. The wallet you trade from is non-custodial, which its Terms describe by stating in capitals that fomo is not responsible for the security or safety of your digital assets and that you are solely responsible. fomo also states in its Terms that it is not registered with or licensed by any regulatory authority. Neither of those facts is changed by a large Series B. If this idea is new to you, read what a self-custody wallet means, and see the wider picture on is fomo.family legit and is fomo.family regulated.
What does fomo say about its own growth?
Alongside the Series B, fomo published a set of growth figures for the period since it launched. It said more than 625,000 people had joined, that more than $4 billion had been traded on the platform, that it had recorded more than 110 million unique social interactions, and that more than 68,000 people had bought crypto for the first time using Apple Pay, spending $25 million between them (June 2026). Treat every one of those as the company describing itself: none is independently audited, and none is a regulator filing. Figures on this scale show a product people are using; like the funding, they say nothing about whether any individual user’s money is protected.
How should a beginner read funding news like this?
Funding announcements are written by companies to attract users and more investors, so read them as marketing that happens to contain facts. A short habit keeps them in proportion:
- Separate the two pockets. Money raised goes to the company; it does not sit in a fund protecting your account. Ask what protects your money specifically — here, the Terms say that is you.
- Name the round, not a running total. “$75 million Series B” is a fact; a bigger combined number is usually someone adding rounds together, which fomo’s own sources do not do.
- Check who is speaking. User counts and volumes inside a funding post are the company’s own figures. They may be real; they are not audited, and they are not a safety rating.
- Look for the boring things funding cannot buy. A licence you can look up, a supervisor to complain to, a compensation scheme — fomo’s Terms say it is not registered with or licensed by any regulatory authority. A large raise does not add any of these.
fomo.family is a real, well-backed company — that much its funding record shows. What the record cannot show is whether the platform is a safe place for your money, because those are separate questions with separate answers. For those answers, start with the rest of this section, which covers how the wallet works, what fomo’s Terms say, and the risks of its products, one page at a time.
Frequently asked questions
How much has fomo.family raised?
fomo has announced three rounds: a $2 million pre-seed (February 2025), a $17 million Series A led by Benchmark (November 2025), and a $75 million Series B led by Index Ventures (June 2026). These are fomo’s own figures. The only combined figure fomo itself states is the $19 million it reported at the Series A; do not add the rounds into a single larger number.
Who led fomo.family’s funding rounds?
Benchmark led the $17 million Series A (November 2025) and Index Ventures led the $75 million Series B (June 2026), with Union Square Ventures and Benchmark also participating in the Series B. The $2 million pre-seed (February 2025) was backed by more than 140 angel investors rather than a single lead.
Does big funding mean fomo.family is safe?
No. Funding is money paid to the company by its investors; it says nothing about what happens to your money on the platform. fomo’s Terms state that it is not responsible for the security or safety of your digital assets and that you are solely responsible, and that it is not registered with or licensed by any regulatory authority. A large raise does not change either.
Are fomo.family’s user and volume numbers verified?
No. Figures such as more than 625,000 people joined and more than $4 billion traded come from fomo’s own Series B announcement (June 2026). They are the company describing itself — not audited, and not a regulator filing. Treat them as claims, attributed to fomo and dated.
What is the total amount fomo.family has raised?
There is no single lifetime figure in fomo’s sources beyond the $19 million it reported at the Series A in November 2025. fomo announced $2 million, $17 million and $75 million in three separate rounds; adding them into one number is not something fomo’s own announcements do, so this page names each round instead.
