The Sports & Wellness Playbook: A Founder & Investor Evening
Join Patrick Gorton, Investment Associate at Beringea, and David Marshall, Founder of Malaphor, for a panel discussion and networking drinks for founders and investors operating in sports and wellness on Tuesday 9 June.
The evening will provide an opportunity to hear directly from founders building in the sports and wellness sectors, unpicking the playbook for scaling and reflecting on what's worked and what hasn't in the category. Alongside drinks and nibbles, there'll be plenty of time to continue the conversation and connect with others across the ecosystem.
Beringea is a transatlantic venture capital firm with a substantial track record in media, health and wellbeing, and Malaphor is a consultancy helping ambitious companies unlock growth through strategic fundraising and commercial strategy.
