Sapphire Sport

We invest in early-stage technology companies powering the next generation of consumers. The digital age is rapidly accelerating how brands foster passionate communities—that’s why we work with founders and visionaries across sports, media, gaming, fintech, health and human performance who want to build a more connected world and ultimately, shape the lifestyles of tomorrow’s consumers. Our Backers: We bring together investors with long histories of building and monetizing loyal and passionate communities. Our LPs offer the capital and industry-defining experience of premier global sporting, media and lifestyle brands, including City Football Group, owners of English Premier League champions Manchester City; owners and investors from major U.S. sports franchises—NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, and MLS—as well as strategic entertainment organizations, family offices and institutional investors. Our Family Approach: We believe in building communities because that’s who we are too: a family of partners, investors, and founders who energize and empower one another in an effort to push us all forward. We can be counted on for an authentic partnership that’s made to last. As part of this, our Portfolio Growth team supports our portfolio through customer, partner, and talent introductions from our deep bench of industry contacts. Portfolio Growth is made up of experienced global operators who deliver value-add services through meaningful business introductions and distinct Centers of Excellence, which provide guidance and best practices to our portfolio companies.
