Method
Michael Philippe, Robin Sabban and Swann Maizil found Jellysmack in Paris in 2016 with owned channels such as Oh My Goal and Gamology, then build a program that takes creators' YouTube back catalogs, re edits them for Facebook and Snapchat and splits the revenue, signing MrBeast in 2021. SoftBank leads a 2021 round at a reported valuation above one billion dollars and the company moves its headquarters to Los Angeles. Layoffs follow in 2022, and in October 2024 it cuts staff and scales back the Meta creator program to concentrate on owned content. It buys Law&Crime from Dan Abrams in October 2023 and Court TV from Scripps on February 9, 2026, operating in 2026 as a cable and digital news owner rather than a creator services firm. Founding and SoftBank details are not confirmed in a retrieved source.
