Firebird Impact

We're thrilled to announce our investment alongside Kynisca, Elysian Park Ventures, Tipt Ventures and others in the incredible Laura Youngson and the team at IDA Sports! A huge congratulations to them on raising $2M to supercharge their next phase of growth ?? IDA Sports is redefining the women's game with high-performance, comfortable football boots designed specifically for women athletes—an area that has too often been overlooked. We're proud to support their mission and excited to be part of their journey!

We are delighted and proud to announce our first investment in women's sport in the London Mavericks, one of eight teams to be playing in the relaunched Netball Super League. First and foremost we would first like to thank and all the incredible people, players, coaches, fans, clubs and volunteers across the East region who have supported and built Mavericks for over two decades into the leading club it is today. We're excited to be taking London Mavericks into its next chapter. We are committed to providing a stable platform for growth, increasing focus on player welfare and performance, promoting development opportunities via the pathway, providing a great fan experience and making a lasting impact on the game, our local communities and women’s sport as a whole. Can't wait for the journey ahead with Lucy Wray Mercey, Kieran Crombie and the rest of the fantastic team. Watch this space for more exciting announcements!
