He Monetized Fandom Before Anyone Else

Nathen Mazri, who I interviewed 4 years ago is a fandom-driven entrepreneur. Widely known for breaking the internet through iconic licensing ventures that include Garfield Eats and Scooby-Doo. His work has been featured in over 500 global media outlets and has generated more than 50 million impressions, and he’s built a passionate community of about 500,000 fans and fanvestors.

Nathan is the founder of EGEEZ, creator of the world’s EGEEZ Cloud, an algorithmic verification marketplace connecting fans directly to verified licenses that brings transparency and counterfeit protection to the $70 billion global licensing industry. The platform earned a Government of Canada SHRED and will debut its beta at Bridge. He also coined Egeezment, a brand new category of real estate that merges entertainment IPs with sophisticated living.

  • Through EGEEZ, he represents IP giants like Mr. Bean, The Smurfs, Emoji and others to build the world’s first IP-themed residential developments, a new category beyond hotels and theme parks.
  • He’s also the author of Arabiolosis, and founder of EGEEZ Academy, and is currently filming a documentary drama about his extraordinary entrepreneurial journey for release in 2026.
