Who We Are
We believe in the power of partnership. At ATHFUND, we bridge the gap between innovative companies and the athlete-investors who want more than endorsements — they want equity, ownership, and impact. Whether you’re launching a new product, scaling your business, or raising your next round, our team helps you tap into a growing network of driven athletes looking to back bold ideas.
Why Athletes? Why Now?
Today’s athletes are more than competitors — they’re culture-shapers, brand builders, and savvy investors. Many are seeking meaningful opportunities to grow their wealth, build their legacy, and support businesses aligned with their values. We help you reach them.

We don’t just match businesses with athletes — we build intentional partnerships based on alignment in industry focus, personal values, and long-term strategy. Every connection is intentional — not just about raising money, but about building partnerships that can truly scale your brand. Our curated approach increases the likelihood of meaningful engagement, ongoing support, and lasting relationships. From early-stage startups to scaling companies, we create introductions that drive more than capital — they build momentum.

We don’t just connect you with capital — we help you raise it strategically. ATHFUND offers comprehensive support through every phase of your fundraising journey. From pitch development and investor positioning to cap table planning and term sheet negotiation, our team ensures you’re equipped to handle the entire process. Whether you're raising your first round or your fifth, we guide you to structure deals that attract top-tier athlete investors without compromising your vision.

Athlete investors bring more than funding — they bring influence. When leveraged properly, that influence can elevate your brand visibility, credibility, and market positioning overnight. We help you activate athlete involvement in ways that amplify your brand story, build buzz, and attract the next wave of customers, partners, and investors.
