Maximilian Peldszus Joins Creator Platform Fanblast

HAMBURG, GERMANY—Maximilian Peldszus has joined start-up Fanblast, a new content creators platform that utilizes messaging apps to drive subscriber engagement. Peldszus is former CEO at Euro-based BestFans, a social content platform. “It’s incredibly rare to find and win over talents like Maximilian—with his unique profile, deep industry experience, and proven leadership in this fast-paced sector of the creator economy,” Fanblast CEO Patrick Stasek said. "Having him join Fanblast is not just a strong signal of where the future of creator fan relationships is headed; it’s also a clear message to other top-tier players. We are building something truly special here—and we’re just getting started.” Peldszus said that Fanblast’s messaging-based approach to fan interactions recalled an earlier, more personal connection and intimacy which sets the platform apart. “The heart of Fanblast is the good old, trusted phone number,” he said. “That’s everything. It’s one of the most intimate pieces of our digital identity—more personal than a username, more emotional than a feed. When a fan gets a number to text their favorite influencer, athlete or artist, that hits different. It feels real. And we’ve built the tech to make that feel authentic and safe for everyone involved. “I grew up in a time where giving someone your number meant something,” Peldszus added. “Where a message felt like a moment, not just a ping. Fanblast taps into that nostalgia—and gives it a future. The idea that we can create digital pleasure that feels private, powerful, and real ... that excites me deeply. On top of that, the team around Patrick in Hamburg is phenomenal. They’re smart, fast, and deeply creator-focused. We’re already seeing amazing traction with zero paid marketing. There’s a rocket under this thing. I’m beyond excited to help steer it.” Peldszus said he sees Fanblast platform increasing its global reach rapidly. “We’ve already onboarded top creators across Europe, and expanding into LATAM and North America as we speak. The infrastructure is there. The demand is there. The fan bases of influencers, athletes and artists are waiting. We’re investing heavily in safety, scalability and creator tooling—and we’re staying focused on emotionally intelligent monetization." For more information, visit Fanblast.com.
