About Us
At THECOO, we're leveraging cutting-edge technology to build Fanicon, an innovative and interactive fan community platform. Launched in December 2017, Fanicon is a subscription-based, premium fan community platform where fans can engage directly with their favorite artists and personalities (“icons”), who are directly involved in content design and creation. Fanicon has experienced continuous growth since its launch. As of March 2022, Fanicon hosts over 2,300 communities and over 180,000 fans.
