We are a community of elite athletes who invest in and support champion founders.
We recognise the relentless pursuit of excellence required in both sport and business, and we leverage this mindset, our profile and network to accelerate growth in our portfolio companies.
Our mission is to generate outsized financial returns whilst providing education opportunities for athletes along the way.
Athletic Ventures is more than a community. It's an ecosystem designed to empower athletes beyond the field.
At Athletic Ventures, we are more than just investors. We are a thriving community of 500+ athletes and mentors across 25+ sporting codes, who have collectively invested in 20 high-growth companies. Together, we amplify our impact.
“It’s so energising to have a new type of investor in Australia with a different mindset. As a group of athletes, Athletic Ventures brings many decades of experience operating in high performance environments, which we’ve enjoyed learning from and sharing with our team."
"We have an exceptional relationship with the AV team who are not just passive investors but add value to our business in a really meaningful way. It's an absolute pleasure working with these guys and we're excited about the future."
“Athletic Ventures has been an exceptional partner to Pano AI. Their support in Australia — particularly helping us amplify our mission through PR and their athlete network — has made a meaningful difference as we continue to expand in the region.”
"The AV team has an elite mentality that translates well to super fast-growing businesses. We love having them as a sounding board for product strategy, sponsorships, and healthcare thinking."
"Our team loved it when we announced we have a community of elite athletes investing in Hnry and AV has been strategic about suggesting ambassadors, generating additional earned media and provided ongoing social media support."
“Athletic Ventures offers something completely unique in venture, and add so much to our business. It has been extremely valuable having AV alongside us as we scale, and even more importantly, a lot of fun.”
“We know athletes are obsessive and competitive. That's exactly the energy you want backing you on your cap table, and you feel it as you build globally. Athletic Ventures has a genuine point of difference in the VC market.”
