OnlyFans is venturing into the world of business education, leveraging its 4 million creator businesses to share entrepreneurial expertise. The platform has tapped lingerie entrepreneur Rachael McCrary to teach creators how to monetize their ideas and navigate entrepreneurship as a woman.
The move marks OnlyFans' first foray into creating content focused solely on building a business. As part of this effort, the company plans to offer four videos featuring McCrary's insights on pitching investors, building a brand, and navigating entrepreneurship in a male-dominated industry. The classes are intended to help creators scale their businesses beyond adult content.
McCrary, 48, brought her unique perspective to the table having previously struggled to break into corporate fashion due to her experience as a former SuicideGirl. Her own entrepreneurial journey was marked by challenges from VCs who doubted women-led companies. Spice Rack, which she founded with Sequoia Partners China and Mucker Capital backing, is among fewer than 1 percent of VC-funded companies that are wholly led by women.
In an interview, McCrary stated, "OnlyFans is a community of over 4 million creator businesses... It makes sense that we are the perfect platform to share tips on entrepreneurship." The venture is part of OnlyFans' push into safe-for-work content and aims to inspire entrepreneurs among its users.
