Kyle Forgeard starts NelkFilmz in Mississauga, Ontario in 2010 and pairs with Jesse Sebastiani in August 2014. The crew moves to Los Angeles, then Orange County, then Miami. Full Send apparel sells in Supreme style drops and is reported near $100 million in annual sales. Happy Dad hard seltzer launches in June 2021, brewed by Minhas in Monroe, Wisconsin, and is a top five seltzer at Total Wine by 2023, with John Shahidi as president and Sam Shahidi as CEO. The Full Send Podcast starts in August 2021.

Open questions: The reported figure of near 100 million dollars in annual Full Send apparel sales appears only in net worth aggregator sites, and no trade or financial source was found; the SteveWillDoIt 15 percent Happy Dad stake is also unsourced above encyclopedia grade.
