Founded in Dallas by Reed Duchscher, Night today represents several major figures in streaming and online video, including Mrwhosetheboss, Hasan Piker, ZHC, The Costco Guys, and has until 2024 the star influencer, MrBeast, who now directly manages its activities. In a decade, the agency has established itself as a central contact between creators, brands and platforms.
The historical role of this type of agency consists of the negotiation of advertising contracts, brand partnerships, image management, legal and commercial structuring, with a remuneration model mainly indexed to the commissions received.
With this fundraising Night plans to finance future acquisitions and expand its scope towards gaming, music and sport. The agency has already acquired podcast network The Roost as well as marketing company Experiential Supply.
This movement reflects a repositioning which is no longer just representing talents, but controlling more links in the value chain, namely production, distribution, events, and brand activation.

The Roblox bet and the economics of native IPs
Night stands out from other market players due to its strong interest in Roblox. The platform allows creators to design and monetize their own games. Night sees this as a natural area for development. The agency therefore pursues a game acquisition policy and forms partnerships with creators present in the ecosystem.
This positioning reflects a development in the market where creators are no longer limited to producing sponsored content and are marketing products, services or developing new brands that can be used on several media. The role of the agency thus extends to entrepreneurial support.
A structuring phase for the market
With this lifting of $70 millionNight brings StepStone Group, Founders Fund, PagsGroup, K5 Global and House Capital to its capitalization table, a sign of an ecosystem that seems to be entering a more capitalized organizational phase.
In France, Inflow has established itself since 2018 as a contrarian talent agency. Founded by Manuel Diaz, the structure now represents 27 creators and operates on a classic commission model taken from their income. Its uniqueness lies in its hyper-selectivity: no call for applications, but proprietary sourcing based on an internal algorithm intended to detect profiles with strong entrepreneurial potential. The agency claims a logic of strategic support rather than advertising intermediation. It acts as an interface between brands and creators, ensuring that their editorial line is preserved and structuring them like entrepreneurs. Influx can also invest in their structures, thus more than a million euros has been injected into the development of the media Legend by Guillaume Pley, presented as the most visible success of the portfolio, with around 100 million weekly views. Influx announced last November the creation of /influxCapitalPartners, an entity dedicated to grouping and developing all of the strategic holdings it holds in companies founded by creators and entrepreneurs.
With 7 billion views in 2025 across its entire portfolio, the company, which does not communicate on its turnover, has declared itself profitable since its creation and has until now shown the desire not to raise funds in order to maintain a short decision-making circuit. In front of her, Webedia embodies a more integrated and industrial model, combining proprietary media, content production and talent management, particularly in entertainment and gaming. Where Webedia operates on a large scale, Influx claims a more targeted approach.
