Zealot Networks was founded in August 2014 by Danny Zappin, the co-founder and former CEO of Maker Studios.〔 Zappin had been working on Zealot for about six months prior to founding the company.〔Nicole Laporte, (“Maker Studios’ Former CEO Takes Disney’s Millions to Move Beyond YouTube,” ) ''Fast Company'', August 4, 2014.〕 In the summer of 2014, he raised $25 million, investing a large portion of the payout he earned from the sale of Maker Studios to Disney,〔 with additional investments from former Maker Studios executives and talent.〔Saba Hamedy, (“Ex-Maker Studios CEO launches digital media company,” ) ''Los Angeles Times'', August 4, 2014.〕〔Todd Spangler, (“Danny Zappin, Ousted CEO of Maker Studios, Raises $25 Million to Launch Digital Studio,” ) ''Variety'', August 4, 2014.〕〔Mike Shields, (“Ex Maker Studios CEO Danny Zappin Raises Funding For New Web Video Venture,” ) ''Wall Street Journal'', August 4, 2014.〕〔Todd Spangler, (“Danny Zappin’s Zealot Networks Buys Majority Stake in YouTube Licensing Firm AudioMicro,” ) ''Variety'', December 18, 2014.〕 By the end of the year, Zealot had raised additional capital from UK broadcaster ITV, the largest commercial television network in the UK.〔Melissah Yang, (“Zealot Networks Valued at $100 Million,” ) ''Los Angeles Business Journal'', December 22, 2014.〕〔Michael Wolff, (“Why Is the U.K.’s ITV on a Hollywood Buying Spree?” ) ''The Hollywood Reporter'', May 7, 2015.〕 With the deal, ITV became the company's first media industry investor, acquiring a minority stake and gaining a board position, while helping Zealot expand into the European market. The ITV investment valued the company at over $100 million.〔〔Todd Spangler, (“Danny Zappin’s Zealot Networks Buys Converge Media Group Talent Agency From JB Smoove and Others,” ) ''Variety'', February 5, 2015.〕〔Nancy Tartaglione, (“ITV Invests In Ex-Maker CEO’s Zealot Networks,” ) Deadline.com, December 22, 2014.〕
Zappin has stated that the company is a continuation of his work at multi-channel network Maker Studios. Rather than focusing exclusively on YouTube talent, however, Zealot is a multi-company network, made up of a variety of interconnected digital media companies with different areas of expertise working together while continuing to operate independently, in an effort to accelerate their collective growth.〔Evan DeSimone, (“Danny Zappin Goes Beyond the MCN With Zealot,” ) NewMediaRockstars, August 4, 2014.〕〔Natalie Jarvey, (“Zealot Networks Acquires J.B. Smoove’s Converge Media Group,” ) ''The Hollywood Reporter'', February 5, 2015.〕 Zealot intends to work with content creators and entrepreneurs to help build their businesses and provide synergistic collaboration with Zealot's other companies, which include production firms, technology companies, talent agencies, marketing agencies and advertising agencies.〔〔〔Mike Shields, (“U.K. Media Giant ITV Invests in Ousted Maker Studios Co-founder Danny Zappin’s Media Startup,” ) ''Wall Street Journal'', December 22, 2014.〕
