6 million fans cross international borders for FIFA World Cup 2026 — the largest sporting migration in history. Going solo costs over $10,000. Most of that waste is coordination failure: solo hotel rooms that could be split, tickets traded with scalpers at 30% markup, match-day logistics figured out alone.
Fanpath is the coordination layer for traveling fans. Find fans from your nation, share accommodation, trade tickets peer-to-peer at face value, and experience the World Cup together. The average fan saves $6,200 versus going solo — reducing the total trip cost from $10,000 to $3,800.
Karn Saxena attended FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. He spent $10,000. It was the greatest experience of his life — and he missed the Argentina rally, the group dinners, the watch parties, because there was no way to find other fans. He came back and built Fanpath so that never happens again.
Karn previously founded Rage Effect, India and Web3's first cross-play shooter, growing it to 400,000+ users across Twitter, Discord, and in-game communities. The game used guild-led community structures to drive organic growth — the same model now powers Fanpath's Nation Captains program. Rage Effect was backed by Solana Foundation, MIXI, Nazara, Epic Games, PlayStation, Xbox, Samsung, and Huawei.
Fanpath combines four tools in one place for World Cup 2026: a Tournament Simulator that maps all 10,000+ possible bracket paths so fans know which cities to book; verified Nation Communities for all 48 qualifying nations; Group Housing that matches fans with verified nation-mates to split accommodation costs; and P2P Ticket Matching inside verified communities at face value with no scalper fees.
Fanpath is free to use. Fanpath+ ($30/tournament) unlocks posting housing and tickets, a verified fan badge, unlimited trip simulations, and Priority DMs. Fanpath Gold ($55/tournament) adds exclusive hotel inventory via our Noite partnership — the cheapest hotel rates for WC2026 host cities, with 0% commission.
Fanpath is raising a $1.5M Pre-Seed round. 60% growth and user acquisition, 20% team and development, 20% buffer. Strategic value beyond capital: federation introductions, flight and accommodation platform partnerships, media distribution.
