Eric Rivera, Jeff Emann, and Ben Christensen are three young entrepreneurs who founded the highly reputable and well-known gaming organization, FaZe clan in May of 2010. These three entrepreneurs started FaZe clan through a YouTube channel named FaZe Sniping, where the these three plus others would share videos of their skills on the popular video gaming franchise, Call of Duty. FaZe Sniping would transition into FaZe clan, and at one point, was the most popular video gaming channel and entertainment source on YouTube. As of today, FaZe is regarded as both a professional esports and entertainment organization. FaZe clan has kept its YouTube channel relative all these years, accumulating over 8.5 million subscribers. Countless members of the organization have also found immense success on social media, most notably being FaZe Rug, who currently has 22 million subscribers on YouTube. While the official FaZe clan and members of the organization have mostly transitioned away from video gaming content, FaZe still has high designation in the esports community, consistently making appearances in high ranking and paying tournaments across various gaming franchises. Earlier this year, FaZe clan was ranked the 4th most valuable esports company by Forbes. FaZe is also among the few esports companies that are publicly traded on the NASDAQ. While there are many owners of FaZe clan currently, the success of the company that has accumulated over the last decade has much to do with the entrepreneurial minds of the clan’s three founders.

It is crazy to see an ESports team going public. I remember the announcement in late 2021 and I was intrigued in potentially investing myself. I am familiar with FaZe Clan and what they have done for the gaming entertainment space is impressive and has changed the market. I hope to see them continue to grow and succeed in this ever-growing content creation market. Many companies are following closely in their coattails as they have paved the way for gaming content.
