Is Fireship (fireship.io) / Fireship LLC owned by private equity?

Notes

• Registry escalation: Arizona is the most likely formation jurisdiction based on prior research; the official Arizona Corporation Commission (AZCC) eCorp system is the authoritative registry search entry point for Arizona entities, but beneficial ownership may not be fully disclosed in state registries. ([ecorptestonline.azcc.gov](https://ecorptestonline.azcc.gov/EntitySearch/Index?utm_source=openai))
• Direct registry page for Fireship LLC could not be retrieved/indexed via web search in this run; however, third-party pages that explicitly state they extracted their data from the AZCC eCorp record for 'Fireship LLC' (document/entity number 23021433) list Jeffrey Delaney as member and statutory/registered agent, with a 2019 filing date and Gilbert, AZ addresses. This supports Jeff Delaney as the disclosed member on the AZ filing record, but should be treated as secondary evidence pending direct AZCC page access.

• Fireship (Jeff Delaney) publicly states he sold a stake in Fireship to Electrify and retains creative control; the post also indicates Electrify first invested about 18 months prior to Jan 14, 2026 (≈ mid-2024). This confirms an outside investor but does not disclose whether the stake is majority/controlling. ([fireship.dev](https://fireship.dev/uidotdev-and-fireship-join-forces?utm_source=openai))
• Delaware and California registry escalation notes: Delaware entity details and California filings, if relevant, generally do not provide beneficial ownership for LLCs in simple online lookups; Delaware offers name search/status services, and California uses bizfile for searches/records. No definitive Delaware/California parent entity chain was identified here.

• Fireship (Jeff Delaney) states he sold a stake in Fireship to a company called Electrify, while also stating he retains creative control; however, the size of the stake and whether Electrify has majority/control is not disclosed.
• Electrify’s own materials describe typical deal structures involving buying 50%+ / majority stakes in creator businesses, but this does not prove that Fireship specifically was a majority/control deal.
• Electrify states it has institutional equity backing (e.g., Capital D), but that does not itself prove Fireship is controlled by a private equity fund, nor that Electrify is controlled by a PE sponsor.
