Zander Krause is the founder and CEO of Krause Digital, a Philadelphia-based media holding company. He oversees a portfolio of brands, a team of on-air talent and creative collaborators, and AI-powered infrastructure he designed to support research, production workflows, title intelligence, intake, and operator-controlled workflows.
Krause founded his first company at 22. His flagship brand, JAKIB Sports, has grown into an independent Philadelphia Eagles media brand. The company produces daily live programming, manages talent relationships, and operates a multi-platform distribution network spanning YouTube, podcasting, social media, and syndication partners.
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 workflows that support research, production, operations, and decision-making while keeping humans in the approval loop.
Under Krause Digital, the portfolio includes JAKIB Sports (sports media), ZK's Garage (active automotive content), the Zander Krause AI Channel (future AI infrastructure content), and Ordo Digitalis (incubating faith-content concept). Every brand or future concept is evaluated through a single operating thesis: ownership, discipline, and leverage beat headcount every time.
Based in Philadelphia. Catholic. Building things that last.
