Salary benchmarks
Our take
Sequel represents a community comprising some of the world's most accomplished athletes, artists and entrepreneurs who are actively investing in startups that are driving positive change. It delivers access to some of the most coveted private investment opportunities, and supports startup founders with capital, storytelling, network, influence and expertise .
The company began by serving exclusively athletes - because, while the top professional leagues boast a comparatively limited number of individual athletes, their collective annual salaries are huge. Now, its expansion to serve members also in the creative and business sectors should present a wealth of new opportunity for Sequel.
Sequel's 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, the company is poised for significant success in this promising niche.
