    Stream Chasers is born

    Ed and Ri started Stream Chasers in Sydney in 2024, after years of streaming on TikTok LIVE themselves. They knew what creators actually needed, and what most agencies weren’t delivering.

    The plan was simple: real support, real know-how and real backing for TikTok LIVE streamers across Australia and New Zealand, with no fees and no lock-ins.
