About Event

Why we’re gathering

This is a private, accredited-investor event for family offices, UHNW investors, athletes, and operators who want early access to a Midwest-rooted, globally scalable ecosystem at the intersection of sport, performance, and real assets.

Two distinct investment opportunities will be discussed. Same mission. Different lanes.

Opportunity 1: FYG (Feed Your Game)

FYG is a Conscious Athlete OS: tech, content, and capital infrastructure for the 1% of performers who treat sport like a calling, not just a job.

What we’re building:

  • The FYG Rare Index™: a measurable score around mindset, habits, and performance

  • White-glove support for elite athletes and their inner circle (performance, business, and life integration)

  • A scalable platform that starts in sport and expands to any “1% DNA” performer category

Capital conversation (curiosity-first, details shared in-room):

  • FYG is raising via a Post-Money SAFE with a founder-friendly structure designed to reward aligned early capital

  • You’ll hear the “why now,” the product roadmap, and how this becomes a category-defining platform with sport as the wedge

Opportunity 2: NOVA Real Estate Fund (athlete-education focus)

NOVA is a private real estate equity platform focused on Class A and B multifamily acquisitions across high-growth U.S. markets with an operator-led approach.

What’s unique:

  • Real assets, disciplined underwriting, and operational execution

  • Built for long-term allocators who want cash flow + equity compounding without needing a full-time real estate team

  • Athlete alignment is real, not performative. Ownership mindset, institutional execution

This is not a hard pitch. We’ll share the fund’s strategy, how deals get sourced, and what an ideal capital partner relationship looks like.

A hint of what’s next

We’ll also briefly touch on the bigger vision: Global Sports Fund I and the long-range Global Sports Fund II thesis. Not a formal raise presentation, more of a “where this ecosystem is going” conversation that we can unpack with the team if there’s alignment.

Who this is for

  • Family offices and UHNW investors who want early access to a differentiated Midwest platform with global upside

  • Current and former pro and collegiate athletes, plus their business teams

  • Operators and fund managers who understand platform value and want strategic positioning, not just passive exposure

Updated Session Flow (tight, intentional)

4:00–4:40 PM Arrival, cigars and whiskey, curated introductions 4:40–4:50 PM Opening: the KC ecosystem thesis (why sport, why now, why Midwest)
4:50–5:20 PM FYG: story, demo, product roadmap, and capital conversation
5:20–5:40 PM NOVA: strategy overview and how capital partners plug in
5:40–5:55 PM Q&A: investor discussion, fit, and next steps
5:55–6:15 PM Open conversation and private follow-ups

(If the room is on fire, we’ll run long. If not, we keep it sharp.)
