About

The operator behind the portfolio.

Zander Krause grew up around media. In 2020, he and his dad launched JAKIB Sports to cover the Philadelphia Eagles — no shortcuts, no gimmicks. Just consistency, hard work, and a bet that showing up every single day would compound. It did. JAKIB grew into a full-time media operation.

When AI started moving faster than anyone in media was paying attention to, ZK didn't wait. He deployed AI agents to scale what was already working. What used to take a full production team now runs at 40+ uploads per day across multiple platforms — powered by two AI agents and a small crew of real people who bring the creative talent, on-camera presence, and relationships that technology can't replace.

That success led to formalizing Krause Digital as the holding company in 2026. The model was proven with JAKIB. Now it's being replicated — an AI channel, ZK's Garage, Ordo Digitalis, and more — all running on the same infrastructure.

Catholic faith isn't a bullet point on the About page — it's the operating system. Family comes first. Truth over comfort. Discipline over motivation. Build things that last, not things that trend.

The Thesis

The next generation of great companies will be built with AI as the foundation, family as the backbone, and the discipline to build things that last. Operators who treat AI as infrastructure — not as a feature, not as a talking point — will define the next decade of business.

Krause Digital exists to set this standard. One operating system. Multiple brands. Each one running at a level that shouldn't be possible for a company this size. A team of elite operators, mostly family, producing the output of a company ten times larger.

Five-Year Vision

A portfolio of brands — each leading its category — all running on shared AI infrastructure that no competitor our size can match. A team of 10–15 elite operators, mostly family, producing the output of a company ten times larger.

The Team

Real people. AI agents. One standard.

Frequently Asked

Krause Digital is a media holding company founded by Zander Krause and based in Philadelphia. We build and scale brands through AI-powered infrastructure, operator discipline, and relentless execution. A small team of real people backed by AI agents, producing output that rivals companies ten times the size. Five brands across sports, automotive, AI, and faith content.

Zander Krause is the founder and operator. The team includes Dad (JAKIB co-founder), Marie (thumbnails, podcast production, mid-roll editing), on-camera talent Dan Sileo and John McMullen, and two AI agents — Otto (strategy and infrastructure) and MAX (content production and distribution). Real people doing the work that matters, AI handling the scale.

Five brands: JAKIB Sports (Philadelphia Eagles and NFL content, 56,000+ YouTube subscribers), Zander Krause (AI and automation content), ZK's Garage (automotive, nearly 3,000 subscribers), Ordo Digitalis (faith-based content, in development), and a fifth brand in the pipeline. Each has its own identity and audience — KD is the operational engine behind all of them.

KD uses a brand architecture with three tiers. Independent brands (JAKIB Sports, ZK's Garage) have their own identity — KD owns the business but doesn't brand them. Endorsed brands (Zander Krause channel) use KD's visual DNA. Incubating brands (Ordo Digitalis) are early-stage, being developed on shared infrastructure. Audiences interact with the sub-brands. Partners and collaborators interact with KD.

AI is the infrastructure, not the identity. Two AI agents handle operations, content production, scheduling, and distribution — work that would normally require a much larger team. The agents scale what the humans built. The humans bring the creative vision, on-camera talent, and relationships that AI can't replace.
