Founder, Keala Capital
One Ecosystem.
Two Perspectives.
Advisory gives us a front-row view of the businesses, technologies and strategic challenges shaping the sports economy. Investing allows us to apply that perspective as long-term capital allocators.
Our work with founders, operators and investors informs our understanding of the market, while our investment perspective strengthens the strategic counsel we provide.
Let’s Build What’s Next.
