PORTFOLIO

Sports IQ

Exited

We invested in Sports IQ because we want to back a founding team of previous entrepreneurs who have successfully exited other ventures and have extensive domain knowledge in the sports betting data industry. Given the expertise within our network in the sports betting industry, we leveraged these established connections to help the founders build their company. Sports IQ was acquired in 2024 by DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG), one of the largest fantasy sports contest and sports betting company.
