Philadelphia, PA, US
October Ventures is a professional athlete investment syndicate and fund, founded on the belief that professional athletes can be a powerful force in accelerating early-stage venture companies. It works with members of the Athlete Syndicate to use their personal, team, and agent networks to find competitive investment opportunities, and it runs all fund investment operations as an intermediary between portfolio companies and the athlete syndicate.
Portfolio companies gain direct access to athlete investors who help shape product development, provide market feedback, and open doors to professional franchises. October Ventures focuses on Seed and Series A companies in consumer, health/wellness/human performance, sports tech, and select B2B verticals, and it does not lead financing rounds, instead following strong lead investors.
