SourceFed Studios

SourceFed Studios was an American digital media company and multi-channel network created by Philip DeFranco in 2011.

SourceFed was one of the more successful YouTube-funded channels and a nerd culture-focused spinoff, SourceFedNerd, was launched in 2013.

Under that portfolio, SourceFed's production and hosting staff launched and worked on various sister channels including SourceFedNerd, People Be Like, Super Panic Frenzy, and ForHumanPeoples (later rebranded as Nuclear Family).

SourceFedNerd was briefly rebranded as NowThis Nerd, but Group Nine reversed this after fan backlash.

Due to DeFranco's position as a YouTube partner, the website offered him funding for an original channel.

The spinoff channel hosted a live version of the #TableTalk series during the YouTube Comedy Week in 2013.
