About Jeremy Zimmer
Jeremy Zimmer is a co-founder and CEO of United Talent Agency (UTA), based in Beverly Hills, California. A 2019 Milken Institute speaker profile described him as overseeing more than 300 agents and nearly 1,000 employees. Crunchbase lists him as one of the agency's six owners and a managing director.
Crunchbase also notes that he is involved in United Entertainment Group, a joint venture with advertising executive Jarrod Moses focused on branded entertainment and integrated media.
Public databases disagree on how many deals he has done. Crunchbase counts 12 personal investments, PitchBook counts 5, and NFX Signal lists 11 on record. Dated deals in these listings include Giftagram (2016), Emagispace (2017 and 2018), dot.LA (2020), United Dwelling (2021), Bright (2021), Telly (2023) and SMACKTOK (2026).
Most of these are consumer, media and entertainment companies, which fits his work at UTA.
The AI deal we can confirm is Onix. In September 2026 the Montreal startup closed a US$5 million pre-seed convertible note. Alpha Edison led, with Garage Capital, Ride Home Fund, Jeremy Zimmer and Jean-Sébastien Cournoyer also taking part. Press coverage calls Zimmer and Cournoyer strategic investors.
Onix builds what it calls Personal Intelligence. These are health and wellness AI systems trained on licensed expert knowledge and governed by the experts, not on open internet data. Crunchbase lists Onix as his most recent investment. We found no other public AI investments by him.
NFX Signal tags him as an angel focused on entertainment and sports, with deals from pre-seed to Series B, and lists a check range of $5K to $50K with a $25K sweet spot. Evalyze describes his stages as pre-seed to Series A and his checks as up to $50K. These figures come from third-party investor databases, and we found no statement from Zimmer himself on check size. The Onix round shows he also backs AI companies outside entertainment.
