About Courtside
Courtside Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm investing at the intersection of sports, entertainment, and consumer. We were founded in 2016 on a thesis most investors were missing: the real opportunity in sports wasn't the teams, leagues, or venues themselves, but the media, commerce, tech infrastructure, gaming, and health platforms built around them, serving fans who spend more on the category every year.
A decade later, that thesis has produced a portfolio of 130 companies, including The Athletic (acquired by The New York Times), StockX (exited), Draftea, Rythm Health, and Beam (acquired by Microsoft), and has returned real capital to our LPs. Today we manage $300M+ across our funds.
We have kept the team deliberately small. That is a strategy, not a constraint: everyone here sees deals end to end, and the person in this seat will have more responsibility in year one than an associate at a large platform fund gets in three. This is a role with high agency, high expectations, and high upside.
