Sports + Capital Meetup: Powered by Tenur
Join investors, athletes, and operators at the Sports & Capital Allocator Meetup during SXSW — a casual gathering for conversations at the crossroads of sports, finance, and innovation.
Vivi Lin (Axiom) will be among our guests sharing perspectives and connecting with peers over drinks. Meet fellow dealmakers and builders shaping the future of sports ownership, media, and performance in an open, collaborative setting.
You'll shake a hundred hands this week. Exchange a hundred numbers. Have a dozen conversations that feel like they could turn into something real.
Most of them won't.
Tenur is the platform built to change that, and Friday night is where we pull back the curtain. Join us at Château Chloé, a Tribeza 2025 Curb Appeal Award-winning estate in East Austin, for the official launch: live demos, first looks at the product, music, drinks, and connections worth actually keeping.
This is a curated invite activation. The people in the room will want to stay in touch after SXSW. That's the whole point."
What is AXIOM? AXIOM is building next‑generation sports and entertainment infrastructure that transforms how fans engage with teams, athletes, artists, and live experiences. Instead of fandom being a one‑way relationship where people just watch from the sidelines, Axiom creates an ecosystem where fans are part of the community, the experience, and the value that gets created around it. This unlocks new, durable revenue streams for teams, athletes, artists, and partners—while giving fans more access, ownership, and connection than a traditional ticket or broadcast ever could. And we’re launching it where the opportunity is exploding: Austin, Texas, one of America’s fastest‑growing tech hubs and a city packed with passionate sports and entertainment fans.
Vivi Lin is a trailblazing sports and entertainment executive with 25+ years driving growth across teams, venues, and media, and the first Asian‑American woman to own a professional football team, the San Diego Strike Force (IFL). She is the Founder and CEO of DRAFT Technologies and AXIOM, which are Austin‑based ventures reimagining how fans participate in and help power the business of sports and entertainment. Vivi has led high‑impact work for properties including the US National Surf Team, the San Diego Zoo, and Frontwave Arena, and has served as a broadcast executive producer and on‑camera talent with CBS, FOX, and ESPN. At SXSW, she brings the perspective of a team owner and tech founder to unpack where the next generation of sports, media, and fan‑driven business models are being built.
Meet the founder of Tenur, Eric Gonzalez. Eric started his career as a U.S. Navy Cryptologist and NSA intelligence officer, running covert operations and supporting mission-critical decisions in high-pressure environments. He later brought that precision to Ridgeline, the fintech founded by Workday’s Dave Duffield, and then to Meta, where he helped build the AI infrastructure behind some of the largest models in the world.
Now he’s applying that rigor to something deeply human: Tenur, a relationship operating system built for people whose lives run on introductions, follow-through, and trust, keeping important connections from slipping into the noise. If the future of AI and relationships matters to you, he’s someone worth knowing.
