Frequently asked questions

White Sports Ventures builds, operates, and invests across media, technology, intelligence, and capital, connecting them as one system for soccer. WSV is not a venture capital firm: it is an operating company that owns and builds companies in the sport and invests where its operating network gives it a clearer view. We pair capital with hands-on strategic support — including executive advisory, partnership coordination, and cross‑portfolio distribution — to accelerate growth and impact across the soccer ecosystem. Visitors can explore our ecosystem, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us to start a conversation.

White Sports Ventures was founded by Jeremiah White III, who combines an elite international playing career with institutional investing experience. The team emphasizes 25+ years of global sports experience across four continents and eight countries, offering cultural fluency, league knowledge, and a network that benefits founders and partners.

We invest primarily in three verticals: Media (content and distribution), Technology (AI, analytics, fan platforms), and Organizations (clubs, training, community initiatives) that are transforming how soccer is consumed, run, and monetized. We look for founders building scalable products or models with clear paths to audience growth and commercial partnerships within the soccer world.

WSV is not a venture capital firm. It builds and operates companies across the sport and invests where that operating network gives it a clearer view, coupling capital with operational and partnership support tailored to soccer. Beyond checks, we leverage a curated portfolio and media/tech expertise to drive distribution, product integrations, and community impact that a fund typically doesn't provide.

We have a global perspective informed by experience across North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and other regions, and we evaluate promising soccer startups worldwide. Founders and partners can reach out through our contact page with basic company details and a brief pitch to start a conversation about investment, advisory, or partnership opportunities.

White Sports Ventures provides three core offerings: strategic minority investments across media, technology and organization verticals; hands-on executive advisory to founders and leadership teams; and strategic partnership coordination that leverages the firm's curated portfolio for distribution, tech integration and community activation. We also publish a newsletter featuring market insights and portfolio news to help founders connect with customers and partners. These services are tailored to accelerate growth within the soccer ecosystem.

The Strategic Platform pairs capital with operational support — matching portfolio capabilities (e.g., media distribution, AI tools, community programs) to a founder's go‑to‑market needs. We create cross‑company workflows and partnership introductions to drive user acquisition, product integrations, and revenue channels, while advising on commercial strategy and governance. The goal is to shorten time‑to‑market and amplify impact through coordinated ecosystem activity.

Yes — advisory and partnership services are customized based on stage, product type, and growth objectives. Whether you need short‑term executive coaching, board‑level strategic planning, or bespoke go‑to‑market partnerships across our media and tech portfolio, we scope a tailored program with clear deliverables and timelines. Engagements are designed to complement capital investment or can be delivered independently as a consulting engagement.

We are a hands‑on, sector‑specialist investor: alongside capital we typically provide executive advisory, regular strategic check‑ins, operational introductions, and access to portfolio resources for product and distribution support. The intensity of involvement is agreed case‑by‑case and calibrated to the founder's needs and the company's milestones. Our objective is to be additive — providing support where it accelerates growth without undermining founder autonomy.

Yes — one of our unique advantages is coordinating cross‑portfolio integrations and distribution opportunities (for example media amplifications or AI tooling pilots) to create immediate market reach. We assess fit, design pilot programs, and facilitate commercial terms between founders and relevant portfolio partners to test demand and scale proven channels. These collaborations are structured to be mutually beneficial and measured against agreed KPIs.

There are no public fixed prices — White Sports Ventures typically structures engagement through equity investments, strategic partnerships, or customized advisory agreements. Investment amounts and any advisory fees are negotiated case‑by‑case to match the company stage and strategic scope. For a tailored estimate, submit your company details via the contact form on the site.

Deal sizes and terms vary by vertical and stage (media, technology, organizations), with White Sports Ventures tailoring capital, equity, and strategic partnership terms to each opportunity. They pair capital with hands‑on strategic support rather than offering one‑size‑fits‑all term sheets. Reach out with your pitch and fundraising stage to receive an indicative term range from the team.

Advisory and partnership engagements are typically agreed through one‑off, milestone, or equity‑linked arrangements rather than standardized subscription models; some engagements may include fees or retainers depending on scope. The structure is negotiated to align incentives and measureable outcomes. Ask the team for a proposed scope and fee structure when you initiate contact.

No — like most strategic investors, White Sports Ventures does not offer guarantees or guaranteed returns; investments carry inherent risk and outcomes depend on market fit, execution, and partnership synergies. Instead, WSV mitigates risk by providing active strategic support, distribution opportunities across its portfolio, and executive advisory to accelerate growth. Prospective partners should evaluate risks and request references or case studies during diligence.
