Exploring the synergies between sports and venture capital with Nico Rosberg

In the world of sports and venture capital (VC), there are surprising similarities!

Think about Formula 1 racing – the intense focus on every detail and the constant drive for improvement. These same principles apply in business and VC. Recently, I talked about this on the Business of Sport podcast with Harry Stebbings, founder of @20VC, and his brother Charlie.

Harry’s VC approach aligns with my experiences. He’s not just interested in investments; he cares about the stories behind the founders and their game-changing ideas. Both Harry and Charlie understand how qualities like determination and resilience from sports can predict success in startups.

At Rosberg Ventures, we’re not just playing the VC game; we’re changing it. We use our connections and unique fund strategy to support promising startups and drive progress. Just like in racing, every detail matters in VC. Innovation and growth are ongoing journeys – there’s no finish line.
