Communia Brings On Ex-OnlyFans CEO Amrapali Gan as Strategic Partner

Communia, a unique social platform with mental health tools, has announced the addition of ex-OnlyFans CEO Amrapali Gan as a strategic partner and growth adviser. This move marks a significant step for Communia and its mission to create a supportive digital environment for women.

Olivia DeRamus, Communia’s founder, envisioned a platform where users can post updates in a community feed or privately journal and track emotions. To ensure safety and intimacy, Communia requires identity verification, setting the tone for a secure space for users to share personal experiences.

DeRamus herself has a non-profit background in women’s anti-violence efforts and sought to build the supportive online platform she needed during a challenging time in her own life.

Communia plans to monetize by onboarding creators, allowing fans to pay for access to intimate, supportive communities. Gan’s experience with content creators at OnlyFans will be pivotal in refining this strategy. Gan’s involvement has evolved from casual advice to a formal role, reflecting her passion for Communia’s mission.

“Her expertise is really allowing us to make even better decisions and grow faster, but also handle a lot of difficult questions that come up for any social media platform with her expertise,” DeRamus shared.

Gan, who has a track record of successfully scaling businesses, left OnlyFans last year to start the creative agency Hoxton. During her tenure at OnlyFans, she prioritized safety through robust digital identity verification measures.

As Communia embarks on its first institutional fundraise, Gan’s involvement is expected to enhance its growth while maintaining the platform’s core values of safety and support. This move underscores Communia’s commitment to building a safe and empowering digital space for women and non-binary people as it sets its sights on sustainable growth.
