ENHANCED NAMES ZOOP FOUNDING PARTNER AND OFFICIAL CREATOR PLATFORM OF THE INAUGURAL ENHANCED GAMES IN $10 MILLION DOLLAR PARTNERSHIP DEAL
Partnership Brings Together Two Companies with a Shared Vision of Reimagining Media and Sporting Ecosystems
NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Enhanced, (NYSE: ENHA) the elite sports competition and consumer products company, today announced that it is entering into a ten million dollar partnership agreement with ZOOP, naming the social platform as the official creator platform and founding partner of the inaugural Enhanced Games occurring May 24th in Las Vegas and streamed live to 100 million homes on Roku at 9pm EST/6pm PST.
Under the terms of the agreement, ZOOP will deliver immersive coverage from inside the 2,500 seat purpose-built arena currently under construction at Resorts World in Las Vegas, bringing the inaugural Enhanced Games to a global audience in the most authentic ways. Ahead of the Games, ZOOP has been co-creating content with Enhanced athletes as they lived and trained in the United Arab Emirates. This content is featured and distributed on the ZOOP platform as well as on many of the athletes' and Enhanced's other social platforms. The partnership will allow fans from across the world to gain behind-the-scenes access to athletes in authentic ways as they share their journeys through training and medical supervision up through the day of the competition.
"We're thrilled to have ZOOP as a founding partner and official content platform for the Games," said Maximilian Martin, CEO of Enhanced. "ZOOP's model, rewarding the people who build the ecosystem, is very similar to our approach. ZOOP puts creators first, Enhanced does the same with athletes. Therefore, we believe Zoop is poised to successfully disrupt the social media ecosystem and the platform will provide a powerful way for Enhanced to authentically connect athletes and fans globally while redefining how sport is experienced in a digital-first world."
"Creators and athletes have built the modern internet, yet they've captured only a fraction of the value they generate," said RJ Phillips, CEO of ZOOP. "ZOOP changes that by paying creators more and rewarding fans for genuine engagement. Enhanced shares that same commitment to fairness and equitable compensation, which makes this partnership a natural fit."
TWO COMPANIES ONE BOLD VISION
The partnership brings together two innovative companies aligned around a common goal: rethinking how athlete-led content is created, distributed, and monetized in a modern media landscape. Led by two next generation leaders who have a shared vision to redefine the sports, wellness and social media ecosystems, Phillips has played a central role in partnerships with rights-holding organizations and global media properties. Similarly, Martin is a digital native with a proven ability to scale disruptive businesses and grow market share in their respective sectors.
ZOOP's approach offers industry-leading economics as the platform pays creators 80% of the revenue they generate, while also rewarding consumers for meaningful engagement. The platform is designed to deliver global reach alongside a safer, more transparent digital environment. Similarly, Enhanced is bringing more transparency to sport through its clinical trial which places athletes under the highest levels of medical and clinical supervision. The proprietary data from the athlete trials will help to shape Enhanced's prescription guidelines and product roadmap within its consumer medicine platform Live Enhanced.
