Fandom, Inc.

Fandom is a platform that powers fan experiences, building entertainment and gaming communities, content, services, and experiences. Founded in 2004 by Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley Starling, it was originally called Wikicities and later Wikia. The platform was built on the core technology powering Wikipedia to serve fans who wanted deeper information about fictional universes. One of its earliest wikis, Wookieepedia, had over 50,000 articles by 2007 and was used as a resource by the Star Wars creative team. Fandom has since added services that help fans play, connect, create, shop, and celebrate.
