Fundo is a new Google app that lets YouTube creators and other influencers easily set up virtual experiences and events for their fans.
The app, which came out of Region 120 (Google’s in-house incubator for experimental projects), has been in beta for the past year, but this week the company has opened it to everyone in the US and Canada, with more locations coming soon Huh .
The objective of Fundo is an end-to-end solution that makes it easy for creators to set up and manage virtual events, which can be a tricky process if the tickets occur.
The application includes features for such things as scheduling, sign-up, payment processing, communication and livestreaming. The event host can manage the entire process within the Fundo platform, requiring no app or additional software download.

“Fundo gives creators new monetization options that they do. Event hosts are in control of ticket prices and any discounts, if preferred events are also included. Some producers using YouTube channel subscriptions offer fundo meats and lanes exclusively to channel members as a premium perk. “
Greg also states that many aspects of life have gone online and become virtual due to the coronovirus epidemic. As a result, it is not only YouTube creators who have been using Fundo to engage with their followers, but also among writers, fitness trainers and lifestyle consultants.
