Michael Wayne's DECA launches Kin Community in October 2011 as one of YouTube's funded original channels, then pivots to selling advertising for women lifestyle creators when YouTube declines follow on money. It manages The Ellen Show's channel for Warner Bros. from 2013, builds Kin Studios for branded content in 2015 and raises 13.5 million dollars in 2016 from Emil Capital, TEGNA and Corus. It operates in 2024 with celebrity led series for Tia Mowry and Adrienne Bailon; whether it still trades in 2026 is unconfirmed.
