Zak Longo

My name is Zak Longo. I am a Canadian-born entrepreneur and investor based in Miami, Florida. My work combines media, consumer products, and technology.

In 2019, I co-founded Gamelancer, a gaming media company with 60+ million followers. I worked with the company for almost four years before it was acquired and taken public. That experience helped shape how I think about growth, audience development, and long-term value.

From there, I launched Sugo Sunday, a content production firm built for the social media era. We created content across YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, and scaled the business to over $100M in revenue.

Today, I serve as the CEO of Travly, a travel company which I founded in 2022. I helped turn the company into one of the biggest travel networks on social media, gaining over 50 million followers and generating billions of impressions each year. Travly has since expanded into a hotel booking platform, combining content and commerce to fit how people plan and experience travel today.

Alongside my work with Travly, I am involved with several consumer and lifestyle ventures, including as a partner in Prince Street Pizza, a company founded in North America and expanding into Europe.

I am also part of Andrea’s Cookies, a fast-growing artisanal cookie company with a large presence in Toronto. In addition, I founded the luxury sportswear brand Le Padel and Gummly, a company that sells a range of functional health products.

Beyond operating roles, I stay active as an investor and advisor. I am a board member and investor in Planaday and have backed various companies in health, consumer goods, and tech, including Myodetox, Apothekary, and Sesh. I am also involved in larger ventures through investments in companies such as XAI and Tyson 2.0.

I focus on building brands that last. I am driven by ideas that combine creativity with strong business fundamentals, and am always looking for the next opportunity to create something meaningful.

Outside of my professional endeavours, I am a dedicated husband to my beautiful wife.
