Eldridge, led by CEO Todd Boehly, holds what the company described as a \u201cvast minority\u201d stake in Fixated.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expansion Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The funding will support Fixated\u2019s acquisition strategy across talent representation, content production, distribution, and creator infrastructure. The company plans to add creative, operational, and technical leadership roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve built a new model that raises the bar for creators, platforms, and brands,\u201d said Zach Katz, co-founder and CEO of Fixated. \u201cWith this capital, we\u2019re scaling infrastructure, locking in strategic acquisitions, and adding senior firepower to expand monetization, increase production, and fuel long-term growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason Wilhelm, co-founder and president, said the investment supports internal development. \u201cWith Eldridge Industries\u2019 support, we\u2019re investing even deeper on the internal talent and infrastructure that lets brilliant creators, strategists, and producers do the best work of their careers,\u201d Wilhelm stated.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Company Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fixated was founded in 2023 by Katz, former president of esports brand FaZe Clan, and Wilhelm, who previously co-founded TikTok creator management company TalentX.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s client roster includes creator Zach Justice, Twitch streamer Sketch, chess influencers Andrea and Alexandra Botez, and contortionist Sofie Dossi, who has more than 12.4 million TikTok followers.<\/p>\n<p>Fixated operates an in-house studio and what it describes as a 25,000-plus clipping and distribution network.
