Well, "founder" . They just bought Kick, they didn't create it.
Once Eddie got kicked out if Twitch they had to find a new place for the Saturday stream. They did it once on Kick and then moved to Dlive. Dlive though has a lot of delay and this wan't a long term solution so they bought kick and basically rebranded it.
These days the site is growing at a crazy speed, much faster than expected. I wish they would put that much effort to make a site traffic friendly to stake. Then it would run much smoother, especially on Saturdays.
So far no one has confirmed who launched and who bought kick.com it's just that some people say stake.com is behind whether as an investor or on the other hand we don't know, what is clear is that this platform is now growing quickly and almost 50% of users are stake.com users. I remember before the platform was launched then @Trainwreckstv posted that we could create an account first and around 200k registered before launch. I am not surprised if in the future stake.com will sponsor eSport and all matches are broadcast by kick.com like what Twitch is doing at this time.
