E&S TOGETHER 2026:
Erin and Sara Foster have built one of the most complete founder-to-investor flywheels in entertainment, turning cultural influence into operating businesses and operating businesses into a venture platform.

In television and film, the sisters created and executive produce Nobody Wants This, the Netflix series that debuted at #1 globally and earned back-to-back Golden Globe nominations for best TV musical or comedy. Erin created and wrote the series from her own life, drawing on her real-world conversion to Judaism and the sisters’ dynamic as podcast co-hosts, turning personal story into one of the most valuable rom-com franchises in streaming. Critics hailed the show as a revival of the genre, with The Guardian comparing it to When Harry Met Sally and The New York Times crediting it with bringing the rom-com back to life. The show’s first two seasons have generated more than 25 billion minutes watched worldwide, with Season 2 reaching the Top 10 in 82 countries and Season 3, which Erin will join on screen as a cast member, set for this fall. The sisters hold a multi-year overall deal with 20th Television to develop, write, and executive produce original series through their banner Fatigue Sisters Productions, with an emphasis across Disney Entertainment Television platforms. The banner already has multiple projects set up across town, including a comedy series adaptation of Tinx’s bestselling novel Hotter in the Hamptons at 20th Television, a Hulu destination-wedding project, and a Netflix rom-com feature acquired in a competitive situation with the Fosters producing.

In audio, the sisters have hosted The World’s First Podcast for five years, the weekly show that inspired the podcast at the center of Nobody Wants This. It won Best Pop Culture Podcast at the 2025 iHeartPodcast Awards, beating nominees including Las Culturistas, and was honored at the 2025 Webby Awards.

In fashion, their five-year-old brand Favorite Daughter is projecting $150 million in retail sales in 2026, with e-commerce up 60% in 2025. The brand is carried at Saks, Nordstrom, and Revolve, added 800 specialty store partners in 18 months, and now operates three boutiques, with its newest opening this spring in Nashville’s popular 12South shopping district, joining locations in Beverly Hills and on New York’s Madison Avenue. The brand’s footwear line, launched with Caleres, won Footwear News’ Launch of the Year.

As investors, the Fosters are general partners of Oversubscribed Ventures, their consumer-focused venture fund. The portfolio spans consumer brands and consumer technology, including organic infant formula brand Nara Organics, prescription weight loss platform FuturHealth, better-for-you dessert brand Doughy, clinical skincare brand Exponent Beauty, robotic manicure company 10Beauty, cotton-lined diaper brand Kudos, and Andrew Yang’s Noble Mobile, where they invested alongside Scott Galloway, Square founder Jim McKelvey, and Calm CEO David Ko. Their investing instincts were forged as operators: they served as co-heads of creative at Bumble (2017-2020) through its run-up to a public listing, and were early investors and advisors to Mirror, which sold to Lululemon in 2020 for $500 million.

The sisters are also go-to ambassadors for major brands, currently fronting a national commercial campaign for Chase Sapphire Reserve, while Sara serves as Global Ambassador for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in a long-term partnership with the Estée Lauder-owned beauty brand.

Few people have done all of it: created a global #1 show, built an award-winning podcast, scaled a nine-figure consumer brand, and backed companies through major exits.

ERIN SOLO
Erin Foster is a writer, actress, and producer best known for co-starring and creating the VH1 parody reality series “Barely Famous” alongside her older sister, Sara Foster. The sisters are also highly regarded for their clothing and lifestyle brand Favorite Daughter. The brand has grown into a major DTC contemporary label with distribution at Nordstrom, Revolve, Saks Fifth Avenue, Moda Operandi and Selfridges. Favorite Daughter has been worn by an array of talent names like Riley Keough, Ashley Graham, Shawn Mendes, Lauren Santo Domingo, Jennifer Aniston, Ayesha Curry, Katy Perry, and many others. 

Recently, Erin stepped into the role of creator and showrunner of the smash Netflix comedy series "Nobody Wants This," which she created, wrote, and produces alongside Sara and Steven Levitan, and will join the cast for season 3. Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the series debuted at No. 2 with 10.3 million views in its first four days, quickly becoming the No. 1 English TV program on Netflix and earning Golden Globe and Critics Choice TV Award nominations and an AFI Awards Top 10 Television designation. It is currently in production on season 2 and has been renewed for a third. The sisters also inked an overall multi-year deal with 20th Television to develop, write, and EP original series, with an emphasis across Disney Entertainment Television platforms, and were named one of People's 2024 Creators of the Year. Next up, they will adapt Tinx's novel "Hotter in the Hamptons" into a comedy series, produce an untitled Netflix rom-com, and an untitled Hulu destination-wedding project is in development.

Erin and Sara Foster were named Co-Heads of Creative for the tech app Bumble in 2020. "Erin and Sara are true forces of nature and have already brought so much value to our brand and our culture," said Whitney Wolfe Herd, Bumble Founder and CEO. They also went on to become advisors to the workout system, Mirror, which sold to Lululemon in 2020 for $500 million. Off of their successes in the tech space, Erin and Sara founded Oversubscribed Ventures, a venture fund that invests in consumer brands and technology. As of January 2024, they have invested in Nara Organics, Juliet, Exponent Beauty, Pizza Girl, Batch, 10Beauty, and FuturHealth. 

In 2021, the Foster duo launched a new podcast series titled “The World’s First Podcast” covering topics including therapy, wellness, relationships, and business. Its authenticity saw the two of them hosting their first live podcast taping in February 2024 to a sold out NYC crowd. They also co-host the business podcast "Oversubscribed" in 2024.

Erin and her husband Simon Tikhman, CEO and founder of The Core Entertainment, reside in Los Angeles and Nashville and recently had a baby named Noa in May 2024.
