Cartan Capital

We are excited about this month's newsletter - focused on Youth Sports!

It is my true belief that athletes are uniquely equipped to excel as entrepreneurs. The discipline, resilience, and competitive drive we hone through years of training translate seamlessly into building businesses. We’re conditioned to adapt under pressure, pivot strategies on the fly, and push through setbacks - skills that are invaluable when navigating the unpredictable world of startups. Plus, the teamwork and leadership we develop in sports create a collaborative mindset and environment that’s key to scaling a vision. Thanks to Ethan Joyce and Sports Business Journal for the shoutout and for highlighting the significance and impact of athlete leaders in sports tech. Proud to be a part of this industry!

We are very excited about this month's newsletter - focused on personalized nutrition technology.

Cartan Capital, the venture fund started by former pro tennis player CiCi Bellis, is now raising its second fund for sports and health technology investments. “The trendy phrase is now human performance, so that’s our overarching thesis,” Bellis said. 📰 : https://ow.ly/zETy50UV8yv

From the very start, CiCi Bellis and the Cartan Capital team have been deeply engaged as both investors and partners, setting up meaningful connections and opening doors that are already accelerating our growth. Their hands-on approach and commitment to supporting their portfolio companies (like us) has only reinforced why they are such a valuable partner as we enter the next phase of muscle health innovation. We look forward to what’s ahead with Cartan by our side.

News: Cartan Capital, led by CiCi Bellis, is launching its first major fund, targeting $40 million to invest in sports and health tech. As one portfolio CEO, Springbok Analytics' Scott Magargee, said, Bellis "truly is a force of nature." Sports Business Journal Emily Morrison Krall

Growing up in the Silicon Valley, I have spent my life surrounded by Venture Capital. I always knew that no matter where my education and athletic career took me, I would end up in this space one day. Upon retiring from pro tennis, I knew it was finally my time. After a few years at an early stage VC firm, the entrepreneurial itch was impossible to ignore and at the age of 24, I launched Cartan Capital. Alongside a team of exceptional advisors, we raised an oversubscribed $10MM Fund I within our first 8 months, and from Fund I we invested in 6 rockstar portfolio companies across sports and health tech alongside top-tier co-investors. We’re proud to support Tiny Health, Proto Hologram, TMRW Sports, ai.io, Springbok Analytics, and EDGE Sound Research, and we can't wait to see what's next for them. Now, we are turning our sights to Fund II and the future of Cartan Capital as we continue our mission to revolutionize human performance. Thanks so much to Joe Lemire and Sports Business Journal for the feature. Can’t wait to see where this year takes us. Let's go!
