XIX Entertainment

What XIX Entertainment does

XIX Entertainment is a privately held entertainment studio founded in 2010 by Simon Fuller and headquartered at 9000 W Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, with an additional office in London. The company's stated mission is to create powerful entertainment properties that define contemporary culture and to empower iconic artists — including new musical talent — to achieve their ambitions. Operationally, XIX functions as a creator and manager of entertainment IP, working across artist development, music, and broader entertainment property development, with the firm's go-to-market resting on Fuller's personal industry network and brand. The company markets itself primarily through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter) and presents the founder's career arc — 'Past, Present & Future' — as the central brand narrative.

The business model is characteristic of a boutique entertainment management and production company: revenue is generated through artist management agreements, royalties, and content/property development deals, rather than a published pricing or productized SaaS offering. The firm runs lean (11–50 employees) and has recently added a Chief Revenue Officer (Janet Scardino), suggesting a shift toward more systematic commercial development of its IP and artist roster. No funding rounds, parent entities, subsidiaries, patents, or partnerships are disclosed, indicating the company has historically been funded organically and remains closely identified with Simon Fuller rather than institutional capital.
