Fomo hits $500M ARR and 2.5M users, spending $10M+ on creators to ride an early-Robinhood trajectory

Investor Harry Stebbings says Fomo is the fastest he's ever seen an investment reach $500M in revenue, calling it one of the most under-discussed companies today.
Key numbers from Eric Turenne's breakdown:
- 2.5M+ users, $500M ARR
- $7.7B monthly trading volume
- Recent $75M Series B
A major driver is its creator program: likely over $10M deployed into creator spend, making the @fomo app ubiquitous across X, TikTok, and Instagram. The author argues Fomo resembles an early Robinhood and could layer on fintech products—Visa cards, virtual accounts, yield/savings—around its trading core.
