One of our areas of investment interest is expanding demographics that will impact the economy as #influencers and #consumers and wealth creators. We see #collegesports athletes and #NIL as the primary use case for a trend we describe as The Rise of the Athlete Entrepreneur. If you’re an athlete or a sports, media, marketing or brand management professional- you need to know about NIL to capture emerging opportunities. Join us and our portfolio company MOGL on October 10 at University of California, Irvine - The Paul Merage School of Business in Irvine CA as we explore all things NIL with a stellar group of speakers and moderators. Hosted by Tonya Williams Bradford and Ayden Syal with special thanks to Kinsey Powell Joss Tillard-Gates Paula Smith and Erica (Satterfield) Monteabaro. Register now! https://lnkd.in/gssiUpWV
