Typical initial checks are ~$50k, with follow-ons of $50k–$100k and the ability to create SPVs ranging $50k–$1M.

Value Add

Deep, sector-specific operator experience: partners include founders/executives behind major sports properties (e.g., one of the founders of the UEFA Champions League) and have "founded some of the world’s greatest sports properties."
Unique, proprietary deal flow from long immersion in sports tech: "We have reviewed thousands of companies" and claim broad visibility across every sector of sports tech.
Extensive global network and go-to-market support: they introduce portfolio companies to "the biggest clients across US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia" including top-tier teams, clubs and federations.
Active, hands-on support (not passive capital): "We don't just invest our capital, we invest our knowledge, time and effort to grow our companies."
Flexible capital deployment via a leading syndicate: they have "a leading syndicate with over 200 LPs" and can form SPVs to invest additional capital ($50k–$1M) per deal.
Founder- and relationship-first approach: emphasize fast, decisive processes and meeting the full investment team with founders during diligence.
Sports-first domain lens: born from the insight that many sports-tech startups "don't know much about sports," positioning Mindspring as the sports-expert partner.
