Power Players:

Wayne Kimmel

Managing Partner, SeventySix Capital

Kimmel and his venture capital firm SeventySix Capital invest in sports tech and athletes, not necessarily in that order. Kimmel is the rare entrepreneur whose portfolio includes cutting-edge companies such as C360 (immersive video), Swish Analytics (sports betting tech) and Quintar (AR fan engagement), plus human beings. He created an offshoot of his firm called SeventySix Capital Athlete Venture Group that teaches athletes how to be investors — a VC roster that now includes MLS star Alejandro Bedoya and retired NFL receiver Emmanuel Sanders. “I invest in people,” Kimmel said, meaning people who run companies or run on a field.
