The Next Legacy community consists of elite athletes, philanthropists, top-notch founders, and seasoned venture capitalists. The concept that athletes are now able to leverage their personal brand to access top investments is a well-known phenomenon. But every story is unique. Why do celebrities and pro athletes increasingly pop up on the cap tables of the latest hot startups, and do these influencers actually add value?
Next Legacy Perspectives invites members of our community to tell their story of how they look at investing, startups, and the ever-evolving way that athletes, influencers, and venture capitalists leverage their personal strengths to succeed both as investors and as people.
NOTE: Next Play Capital and Legacy Venture united as Next Legacy Partners. Any reference to Next Play Capital, the Next Play community, or similar is captured in the Next Legacy community. Learn more at nextlegacy.com.
