The Austin Palacios Podcast

Building Payment Processor Fanbasis l Yash Daftary E42

Austin Palacios Season 1 Episode 42

In this episode of the Austin Palacios Podcast, Austin sits down with Yash Daftary, the founder of Fanbasis — a rapidly scaling platform reshaping how online creators, course sellers, and info-product businesses process payments and build communities. They dive deep into Yosh’s journey from launching celebrity fan experiences to pivoting Fanbasis into a billion-dollar payments and SaaS powerhouse. You’ll hear insider stories about overcoming Stripe shutdowns, building a driven team culture, the rise of 15-year-old entrepreneurs making six figures, and the future of education beyond traditional universities. Plus, Yash shares what keeps him balanced outside of business — and why work-life integration, not balance, might be the new secret to success.

Topics covered:

  • Overview of Fanbasis
  • The Origin Story of Fanbasis
  • Challenges with Traditional Payment Processors
  • How Fanbasis Solves Payment Issues
  • The Growth of the Info Product Industry
  • Fanbasis Business Model and Differentiators
