Digital-first sports media studio producing original shows for Gen Z audiences
Wave Sports & Entertainment operates a creator-led media studio with 130+ million global followers across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Meta. The tech stack is distribution-heavy (all major social platforms + Adobe Premiere/After Effects for video production) with emerging financial infrastructure (Tableau, Airtable for forecasting and budgeting), indicating a studio scaling beyond content creation into structured business operations. Active hiring spans media production, marketing, ops, and data — suggesting simultaneous growth in content volume, fan engagement measurement, and partnership delivery.

Founded in 2017 and based in Santa Monica, the company has grown to 51–200 employees while managing high-volume content production and multiple simultaneous partnerships.
