The Founding Journey of Fanciii

Fanciii is, without a doubt, the project I’ve been most passionate and emotionally invested in throughout my entrepreneurial journey.

Back when the idea first started brewing, I had countless sleepless nights. Every time an idea popped into my head, I’d grab my phone and jot it down immediately — sometimes in the dark, making sure not to wake up my wife and daughter. It felt like the spark of something special, and I just couldn’t let those moments slip away.

In 2022, I wrote an article on Vocus titled “The Creator’s New Game: 不猶豫遊戲” That piece kind of became the blueprint for what Fanciii would eventually grow into. At first, I was exploring a model similar to OnlyFans, but deep down, I knew Fanciii had the potential to be something more — something driven by creativity, connection, and a fresh kind of user value.

Truth is, the seed for this whole thing was planted way back in November 2018. Over nearly four years, I poured in tons of market research and product development — close to $400,000 invested, and four different versions of the product conceptualized and tested.

Then came a turning point in 2023. On March 29, just past midnight, I got a message on Messenger from an old friend — someone I hadn’t spoken to in ages. Let’s call him Y. He wanted to talk about a possible collaboration. That conversation led to a partnership, and eventually, the decision to incubate Fanciii under the group Y worked with.

From June 2023, things started to move fast. I pulled together everything I’d learned over the past five years and began shaping Fanciii as a new kind of social platform — something to stand shoulder to shoulder with TikTok. In just one month, I finalized the entire plan: brand positioning, market strategy, user analysis — you name it.

We also formed our core team under the name DHG (Double H Growth), built on two simple ideas:

  • Growth Hacker
  • High-Speed Growth

Our philosophy is all about driving innovation through design thinking, co-creation, and rapid scale. That’s not just a business strategy — it’s how I approach entrepreneurship.

Fanciii is positioned as an “Imagreaming Platform” — a term we created by blending:

  • Imagination
  • Creativity
  • Streaming

Our slogan? “Everyone is a Creator.” We believe if you’ve got imagination, the possibilities are endless.

DHG’s core values are centered on flipping the traditional approach. Instead of “demand drives supply,” we go with “supply inspires demand.” By using design thinking to shape what we offer, we enhance user engagement and make creativity feel playful, social, and accessible.

The big vision for Fanciii is simple: to help people capture life’s everyday moments and turn them into creative expressions worth sharing. We want creation to be part of your lifestyle, not just a special occasion.

One thing I really believe in is “vibe.” The vibe connects people. This idea actually started back in 2017 when I was traveling. I’d take a jump photo — what we called a “Mary Jump” — at every place I visited. Over time, it became a kind of signature. Friends started looking forward to it, even copying it, and it sparked this shared, creative energy. That’s when I realized — if a concept is simple and fun, it can spread naturally and bring people together.
