Zander Krause is an American media operator — the founder, CEO, and sole owner of Krause Digital, a Philadelphia-based holding company. He co-founded his first company at 22; by 28 he owned and operated a portfolio of media and product businesses, a roster of on-air talent, and the AI operating system he designed and built himself — running it all with a fraction of the overhead traditional companies carry.
That first company, JAKIB Sports, grew from zero to six-figure annual revenue in under two years and became Philadelphia's largest independent Eagles media outlet — two daily live shows 365 days a year, 56,000+ YouTube subscribers, 44 million+ views, and advertising, sponsorship, and membership revenue across a multi-platform network spanning YouTube, podcasting, and social media.
He was among the first media executives to architect and deploy AI agents as core business infrastructure — not outsourced, not off-the-shelf. Krause designed the systems himself: custom pipelines that manage production, publishing, distribution, and day-to-day operations across the entire portfolio. The result is a company engineered to operate at a scale that typically requires ten times the headcount.
Under Krause Digital, the portfolio spans sports media (JAKIB Sports), consumer products (Built for ADHD, AI Prompt Kits), faith content (Ordo Digitalis), and automotive (ZK's Garage). Every brand runs on shared infrastructure and a single operating thesis: scale, ownership, and leverage beat headcount every time.
Based in Philadelphia. Catholic. Building things that last.
