Who are the owners of Kick and what is their net worth?

Khizar Mundia Published 07/03/2025

Kick is one of the most popular streaming platforms going, leaving many to wonder who its owners are and what their current net worth might be.

The streaming industry has reached a whole new level with the number of people watching streamers and how much the content creators can earn for their work. Twitch is arguably the most popular live streaming platform right now, but there is another platform that has taken the streaming world by storm.

Kick, a streaming platform founded in 2022, is where established streamers the likes of Adin Ross and Félix “xQc” Lengyel steam their content. When Kick appeared and started to give competition to Amazon-backed Twitch, viewers had some questions about who owns Kick, and some might also wonder how much their net worth is.

Who owns Kick?

Eddie Craven and Bijan Tehrani, co-founders of the largest crypto-backed online casino, Stake.com, are also the owners of the streaming platform Kick.

Kick credits the inception of the platform to a group of live streamers who wanted to bring change and increase the revenue share possibilities for content creators in the streaming space. Tech entrepreneurs Eddie Craven and Bijan Tehran saw the lucrative spot they could fill that other streaming platforms couldn’t. They weren’t wrong, as since the 2022 launch, many streamers have joined the platform, and it’s now a household name in live streaming.

With Stake’s financial strong backing, the duo could easily open and manage a platform that offered streamers a higher percentage and more incentive to switch to Kick.

Ed Craven has gone on record to express his appreciation for streamer Tyler “Trainwreckstv” Faraz Niknam being with Kick since day one. According to Craven, Trainwreckstv provided has invaluable feedback for the platform.

Unlike Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, the co-founders of Kick aren’t often in the limelight. Ed Craven was last in the news because of the beef between him and Adin Ross, leading to rumors of the streamer’s exit from the platform. The Kick co-founder called out Adin for “engagement farming,” but the duo later patched things up and Adin returned to Kick.

Bijan Tehrani’s tweet went viral in March when he called out Twitch for not unbanning Adin Ross even after the platform’s rule change that woulds seemingly qualify the streamer’s channel to be returned. He claimed that Twitch showed its double standard when it kept Adin banned, perhaps unfailry.

What’s the net worth of Kick’s co-founders?

Kick co-founders Eddie Craven and Bijan Tehrani combine have a cumulative net worth of over $5.5 billion.

Each of the two co-founders of Kick are estimated to have an estimated network of $2.8 billion, which makes their combined total net worth over $5.5 billion. While Stake is their most popular venture, the duo has also dabbled in developing gaming software with EasyGo Solution.

Despite those other efforts, they’re most famous by far for their gaming efforts, which includes Stake and a cryptocurrency-based online dice game called Primedice. Kick has been called out by some for its close ties to a gambling operator, but for many of the platform’s streamers and viewers, there’s no issue with that closeness.
