Jamie Fitch

CEO of EKUZO · Parent

Jamie Fitch is the CEO of EKUZO, where he helps turn gaming from something parents worry about into something kids can grow through, with coaching, structure, teammates, and purpose.

He comes to the work from a few angles at once: as a parent, a lifelong competitive gamer, and a founder and operator who has spent his career building education and impact-driven companies. Jamie previously founded and led an edtech company, raised more than $40M, scaled it, and sold it. Today he advises, invests in, and helps operate companies focused on learning, youth development, technology, and impact.

Gaming is personal for Jamie. He grew up playing competitively and still sees games as one of the clearest places where kids reveal how they think, compete, communicate, handle frustration, and respond to challenges. As a parent, he also understands the tension: the same screen time that can look isolating or excessive from the outside can sometimes be the place where a child is practicing focus, strategy, resilience, friendship, and identity.

His work sits at that intersection. He believes the question is not simply whether gaming is “good” or “bad” for kids. The better question is: what kind of environment surrounds the game? Left alone, gaming can drift toward isolation, toxicity, or avoidance. With the right structure, it can become a coached, team-based, developmentally meaningful experience.

Jamie writes for parents who do not want to dismiss gaming, but also do not want to leave it alone. His work is about seeing what kids are already drawn to, then building the structure around it that helps them grow.
