˘◡˘◕‿↼ツʘ‿ʘᵔ▿ᵔ•ᴥ•Elevated Game: The Rise of the Athlete-Investor is a curated experience at the intersection of sports, capital, and innovation. We're bringing together athlete-investors and founders who are actively shaping the future of competition and ownership.
Join us for two dynamic panels:
The Future of Sports:
Innovation is driving the future of sports from youth to professional level. This panel explores how cutting edge tools—from AI powered performance and NIL platforms to immersive fan experiences—are fundamentally changing how athletes are discovered and developed, and how fans engage with the game. We'll examine how sports tech, emerging league formats, and data analytics are disrupting the traditional sports ecosystem.
Moderator: Abraxas Higgins
Panelists: Faatimah A, Susan Ansman, and Sumair Khan
Playbooks to Portfolios:
Athletes are no longer just building brands; they're building portfolios. This panel unpacks the motivations and mindset behind athletes' investments in early stage startups and long term assets. We'll explore how today's athlete investor is shaping the business landscape—from deploying capital in fintech and AI to participating in large scale real estate projects—and shifting from endorsements to equity.
Moderator: Justice "Juice" Bartley
Panelists: Josh Childress and Marcellus Wiley
Beyond our panels, you'll have plenty of time to network and connect with fellow innovators.
This event is presented by Fair Chance Sports and Improve Your Game and is part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
