Company mission
To help athletes build legacies for their families and for the world.
Our take
Sequel represents a community comprising some of the world's most accomplished athletes who are actively investing in startups that are driving positive change. The company's focus lies in catering exclusively to professional athletes and a singular asset class: startups.
The potential for growth within its marketplace is substantial on multiple fronts. Over the past several years, venture capital has consistently outperformed virtually every major asset class. Furthermore, on the client side, while the top 17 professional leagues boast a comparatively limited number of individual athletes, their collective annual salaries amount to a staggering $22B - a figure that continues to expand, fueled by sponsorships.
This early-stage company is presently operating in steal mode, enjoying strong financial backing. The founding team boasts an impressive track record with three successful exits from prior ventures, and the company has already garnered substantial investment interest. With its distinctive approach and a seasoned team, sequel is poised for significant success in this promising niche.

Company values
- We play to win: Just like our clients who operate at the elite level of sport, we understand that in order to win we need to put in the work. This means going the extra mile being willing to do what others will not and holding ourselves to a higher standard. Some companies play to not lose, we play to win. We are proactive, and decisive and have the courage to take risks
- We are adaptable: We understand in a world that is changing faster than ever before - the only constant is change. The average lifespan of a Fortune 100 company in 1958 was 61 years, not it is 18 years. We adapt to a changing world, constantly iterating, moving forward and staying relevant
- We pay it forward: We are always helpful. To customers, to partners, and most importantly to each other. not because it will 'payback', but because it's the right thing to do
- Yes first: We are on a mission to build something which has never been done before from the ground up. It will be a hard journey full of challenges that are currently unsolved. Our culture is defined by the fact that when we are confronted with challenges, we work from the assumption that it is possible to overcome them
- We are transparent: We challenge each other. Regardless of title, seniority or reporting lines. We give feedback and we are hungry to receive it. We value honest feedback delivered with kindness, and we value people who ask questions
- We trust, respect, and care: It's not easy working in a startup, let alone one with goals as ambitious as ours. At sequel, we believe no one is ever too busy to support fellow team members and that we should always be helpful, inclusive, and selfless in the way we work. Diversity of background and thought is celebrated as we respect and appreciate what makes us all different. We don't tolerate free riders, egos, or workplace politics
