Investment thesis
Elysian Park Ventures is a global investment platform dedicated to building the future of sports. It concentrates on the sports domain and markets that intersect with sports across health, culture, commerce, and technology worldwide. The firm is stage agnostic, investing opportunistically from seed to growth with check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $100 million rather than adhering to rigid asset-class constraints. Its approach is thesis-driven, forming strong points of view about the future of sports to guide investment decisions. Leveraging a global network spanning professional to youth levels and the media and technology landscape, the firm offers portfolio companies four types of strategic capital: relationship, creative, knowledge, and financial.
