The Dude

Tell me if you can guess the industry: Revenues are up 25% this year to a record $2.35B, and fees are up more than 100x. Skyrocketing valuations and revenues, new investment… sounds like a tech story, right? 

It’s a women’s sports story 🔥 

Our Seven Seven Six portcos like ATHLOS, Angel City FC, LOVB LA, Offseason and Chelsea Women FC are proof: the momentum is real, and we’re still early.

This is the growth curve every founder dreams of.

Founder at 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣

I was named after Alexis Argüello, my dad’s favorite fighter. I grew up watching VHS tapes of classic bouts from the ‘90s.

With where AI is today, it got me thinking, what if technology could help rebuild the sport? That’s what Jabbr  is building.

I’ve believed for years that AI would change how we play, watch & measure sports and now Jabbr is proving it in the ring  🤼‍♀️

Jabbr is an AI system that tracks & generates highlights in real time - the same tech trusted on broadcasts like DAZN & TNT Sports.

This is what the future of combat sports looks like, and I’m proud to say that Seven Seven Six just backed their seed round.

And soon, any gym will be able to record, stream, and analyze matches with pro-level production.

If you’ve got a furry friend you’d never leave behind, this one’s for you.

Made a deal on Shark Tank w/ RetrievAir, a team making it possible for people to fly w/ pets. They’re adding new cities fast & feedback from travelers has been incredible. Let's continue to build 🐕🛩️

When was the last time booking a DMV appointment didn’t make you want to scream? Exactly. 

We need modern, people-first software for the public services we rely on – that's where Kaizen Labs, our newest Seven Seven Six co, comes in 💪

Proud to welcome LambdaVision to the Seven Seven Six family! 🔥

They’re building artificial retinas in SPACE, using microgravity to manufacture materials that could help restore sight for millions on Earth.

This is the next frontier of biotech: space-enabled manufacturing unlocking breakthroughs in human health.

Incredible work from the LambdaVision team, can’t wait to see where this goes from here!

Huge Seven Seven Six welcome to LambdaVision! 

These biotech innovators are using microgravity to build protein-based artificial retinas in SPACE, helping restore sight for people with degenerative retinal diseases 

Wild. Can't wait to see what these guys accomplish.

Big milestone for Starcloud -  their first satellite is up, marking the beginning of data centers in space.

Ambitious as hell, and only 21 months in. At Seven Seven Six, we’ve been early on this wave of space-tech innovation: AstroForge, Interlune & Stoke Space.

I invested in Nucleus Genomics because they’re building something EVERYONE should have access to - genetic insights that empower families to make better health decisions. 

That kind of awareness should be universal.

Had a great time on Portfolio Players talking about my journey from Reddit to sports investing.

I shared why I backed Angel City FC and Chelsea Women FC  two teams with massive, passionate fanbases that were clearly worthy of investment...

...but we also talked about ATHLOS and TGL - new formats built for how fans actually watch and engage today. Different playbooks, same goal: building the future.

The culture of collecting in a nutshell: saving what you love because it reflects who you are. 

AMG knows - it’s not just about owning, it’s about preserving. Taylor Swift dropping 38 versions of Life of a Show Girl proves physical things still matter.

Big  shoutout to Mike McCarley at the Starting Line Conference for bringing the energy.

Loved hearing him talk about building TGL,  creating a stage where golfers feel like gladiators walking into an arena. 

The future of golf fandom is gonna be wild.

Love hearing Michelle Wie West talk about what makes TGL so exciting.

The tech is genuinely fun, but it’s not here to replace “green grass” golf. It’s expanding how people experience the game, with a faster format, mic’d-up personalities, and new ways for fans to connect.

Hopped on TBPN to share my latest gaming obsession & it definitely has to be Self-Simulator on the ModRetro Chromatic 👾

I'm an unabashed gamer through & through... and might even have my own game in the works  🤷‍♂️👀

Thanks for being part of our first Starting Line conference!! Your talk was a magnificent opener.

Cofounder & CEO @ ScorePlay | Revolutionizing Sports Media

Harsh truth: Most “sports tech” companies aren’t really tech companies.

They’re often built by insiders who know the right people, not by team of builders who know how to scale a product.

Connections can get you meetings.
But they won’t get you product–market fit.
The real secret sauce?

Bringing the two worlds together.
Insiders who understand the industry.
Builders who understand how to ship, scale, and execute.
Less gatekeeping. More execution.

That’s why I loved the Starting Line conference by Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣, it had the right mix: tech founders, investors, and operators sitting next to sports execs who actually want to learn and innovate.

At ScorePlay, we’re creating the dream team: real tech + real sports.
We’re hiring in NY, Paris, London, and soon APAC.

If that sentence triggered you a bit… maybe we should talk 😉

I'm so proud of what the Mantel team has built here. It has been a resounding success, and I can't wait to see the final winners. This is so good for the hobby. I love seeing the industry keep evolving and maturing like this.

CEO, Mantel

Today voting for The Mantel Hobby Awards went live, in partnership with Yahoo Sports. As I said when we announced the program over the summer, the collectibles industry is chock full of incredible people, brands and products that bring so much joy to so many people. 

But we never stop to celebrate the best of our industry. We see collectors, execs and work worth championing daily, but there never feels like a good time to take a breath and acknowledge what makes this space so special. 

We wanted to change that, and with 90 nominees across 15 categories, we're honored to point the spotlight on the best of the best. 

Anyone can vote by going to https://lnkd.in/geCzx5Em, where the fan vote will make up 70% of the total. The other 30%? The votes of a dream lineup of judges. I mean, look at these names!

Alexis Ohanian Sr., Brent Montgomery, Ryan Spoon, Gary Vaynerchuk, Josh Luber, Steve Aoki, Scott Keeney, Ken Goldin, Darren Rovell, Geoff Wilson, Michael Osacky, ISA AM, Morgan Jon Fox, Alexandra Giaimo, Annemarie Farrell, Mat Sposta, 🏀 Buster Scher, Susan Lulgjuraj, Sarina Morales, Frank Hrelja and Jay Moslehi. 

Massive thanks to the Mantel team that has worked tirelessly to bring these awards to collectors- a small crew doing everything from product to BD to legal to video production to social strategy to article writing. Shane Deol Quyen Hua, Mike Metzler, 🏀 Buster Scher, Jared Delfiner, Chase Dinning, and our partners at Yahoo Sports, including Ryan Spoon, Sam Farber, Anthony Sulla-Heffinger, Paige Cutlip and Adi Khan. 

Voting runs through November 21st, with a live streamed award show to come in December.
