A creator company, not a content house
Hype House was founded in Los Angeles in December 2019 to solve something small: collaboration was a scheduling problem. Solving it produced one of the most-watched creator brands on the internet. In 2026 we run it as a company.
Founder
Thomas Petrou started making videos in high school, got into NYU, dropped out, and spent three months inside someone else's creator house before starting his own. He signed the first Hype House lease in November 2019 and has been the constant through every version of it since.
He still makes content. The company is run by a creator, on purpose.
What we do now
Three divisions under one roof: a cross-platform collective of six to ten core members, a production arm making series and live events, and Hype House Artist Agency handling 360 management.
Creator-owned, transparent about equity, and built so members leave better off than they arrived.
