About The Fund
Courtside Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered at 148 W. 24th Street, New York, New York 10010, US. They specialize in investing in early-stage companies with a focus on sports, collectibles, media, fitness, wellness, and gaming. With a keen eye on digital media, health and fitness technology, athlete performance enhancement, esports, gaming, and real-money betting platforms, they look for innovative businesses that have the potential to redefine these sectors. Their investment thesis revolves around the belief that sports and gaming are areas poised for significant growth and that the next generation of consumers will allocate a larger share of their time and money in these areas. Courtside Ventures operates with an understanding that content creation and distribution, as well as the expanding legalization of sports betting, are driving opportunities within the sports industry, while personalized wellness and specialized e-commerce marketplaces are growing rapidly in the lifestyle space. Furthermore, they assert that gaming is a dominant form of entertainment, especially for younger adults, signaling massive opportunities in content creation, distribution, monetization platforms, and global market investments in the gaming industry. With this approach, they aim to partner with founders who challenge traditional definitions and drive innovation. The fund's assets under management total $35 million, and they typically invest between $200,000 and $1.5 million, with a sweet spot of around $850,000 for equity stakes in seed, startup, early stage, Series A, pre-seed, and Series B funding rounds. Their portfolio boasts over $200 million in AUM across three funds, more than 80 active investments, and an enterprise value of the entire Courtside portfolio exceeding $9 billion. Courtside Ventures also actively invests in underrepresented founders, with 28% of investments dedicated to such entrepreneurs, and 20% of their active investment portfolio based outside the USA to support and capitalize on international trends and markets.
