First exit as an investor! When we started Off Court Ventures 3 years ago, Promix Nutrition became my second investment. The company checked every box: a dynamic founding team led by Albert Matheny IV and Devon Lévesque, plus a clear mission to provide athletes with high-quality supplements, free from artificial ingredients. Congratulations on their successful acquisition by Paine Schwartz Partners! S/o to the OCV Team: Tony Taylor & Nick Hendra

Off Court Ventures recently invested in Unrivaled Basketball and is excited to be a very small part of a much larger journey supporting our friends, Napheesa Collier and Alex Bazzell, in their mission to enhance, redefine, and evolve the industry of women’s basketball. Absolutely incredible to see two professional athletes in the prime of their respective careers launch their own league with the top talent from the WNBA. Amazing to see the immediate collaboration from existing ownership groups across major sports leagues, long-term partnership from Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT Sports), and material investment from brands like State Farm prior to the launch of the innaugural season. We wish Stewie & Phee the best ??
