Looks like Kobe Bryant took his talents from the basketball courts to the NY Stock Exchange as he announced he’ll be starting a $100 million venture capital fund!
The bearded former NBA superstar was seen ringing the opening bell at The New York Stock Exchange where he unveiled his partnership with Jeff Stibel. The investment fund will be called Bryant Stibel and it will seek to invest in media, technology, and data companies.,
“Playing basketball, the focus is always on winning. Winning championships, winning championships, winning championships. Now, championships come and go. There’s going to be another team that wins another championship, another player that wins another MVP award.” Bryant told CNBC. “But if you really want to create something that last generations, you have to help inspire the next generation, and they create something great, and then that generation will inspire the one behind them, right? And that’s when you create something forever. And that’s what’s most beautiful.”
Yasss Kobe, we are all here for it! Anyways Bryant and Stibel have been investing partners for about three years. So if you think your company may be the next best thing you better call Kobe! Let’s chat below!
