At Athletic Ventures, we are a community of elite athletes who invest in and support innovative and disruptive private companies. We recognise the relentless pursuit of excellence required in both sport and business, and we leverage this mindset to accelerate growth in our portfolio companies.
Our mission is to generate outsized financial returns whilst providing education opportunities for athletes along the way. As AV grows, so does our impact - both within the sporting world and business landscape.
Athletic Ventures is more than just a community — it's a holistic ecosystem designed to empower athletes beyond the field.
At Athletic Ventures, we are more than just investors. We are a thriving community of over 500+ athletes and mentors across 25+ sporting codes, who have collectively invested in 13 high-growth companies. Together, we amplify our impact.
“It’s so energising to have a new type of investor in Australia with a different mindset. As a group of athletes, Athletic Ventures brings many decades of experience operating in high performance environments, which we’ve enjoyed learning from and sharing with our team."
"We have an exceptional relationship with the AV team who are not just passive investors but add value to our business in a really meaningful way. It's an absolute pleasure working with these guys and we're excited about the future."
"The AV team has an elite mentality that translates well to super fast-growing businesses. We love having them as a sounding board for product strategy, sponsorships, and healthcare thinking."
"Our team loved it when we announced we have a community of elite athletes investing in Hnry and AV has been strategic about suggesting ambassadors, generating additional earned media and provided ongoing social media support."
