Zander Krause is the founder and CEO of Krause Digital, a Philadelphia-based media holding company. At 27, he oversees a portfolio of five brands, a team of on-air talent and contractors, and an AI-powered infrastructure he designed and built himself — producing over 40 pieces of content per day across platforms with a fraction of the overhead traditional media companies carry.
Krause founded his first company at 22. His flagship brand, JAKIB Sports, has grown into Philadelphia's #1 independent Eagles media outlet — generating six-figure annual revenue through advertising, sponsorship deals, and distribution partnerships. 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 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 includes JAKIB Sports (sports media), ZK's Garage (automotive), the Zander Krause AI Channel (technology and strategy), and Ordo Digitalis (digital faith content). 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.
