Stadia Ventures ^{For Profit}

Stadia Ventures is a sports- and esports-focused venture firm with a sports business accelerator. We’re based out of St. Louis, and we expanded our operations to Frisco/Dallas last year. Twice a year, we search for 4-6 of the best sports/esports startups in the world; invest $100K into each; drop the founders into a 7-session/14-week business development bootcamp; surround the founders with rockstar business mentors; and introduce them to as many potential clients in our network as physically possible. In four years, we're entering our 10th cohort; we have 40 companies in our portfolio; and we already have 5 exits (INFCLR from Fall 2018 to Teamworks; Rival.ai from Fall 2018 to Wondr Gaming; Upgraded from Spring 2017 to Ticketmaster; Fishidy from Fall 2015 to FLIR Systems; Winning Identity from Fall 2015 to Blast Motion). And, our portfolio companies have gone on to raise over $53M.
