Drag to reposition
A seasoned venture capital investor with a trusted global network, focused on sourcing and vetting early opportunities across emerging markets, technology, sports, and consumer innovation.
Built to give athletes cleaner access to ownership beyond the game.
Professional athletes earn at the highest level — but the investment world wasn't built for them. The deals that build real wealth are private, complex, and traditionally only accessible to institutional investors and high-net-worth insiders.
Roster changes that. Every deal is globally sourced, personally reviewed, and vetted through a 5-step process before any athlete ever sees it. No noise. No bad actors. No guessing.
By invite only. We keep it exclusive intentionally — the quality of deal flow and the integrity of the network depends on it.
You're heavy in North America. Adding a MENA or LatAm position would round this out nicely.
Your EliteFuel position is performing well. The round closes in 14 days — if you want to add to your position, now's the time. I'm watching two new deals from Singapore and Brazil that should be a strong fit for you. Will push them next week.
Venture capital (VC) means investing in early-stage private companies in exchange for equity — a small ownership stake. Unlike stocks, you can't sell your shares on an exchange. You're betting that the company will grow and eventually exit via an acquisition or IPO, at which point your shares convert to cash.
Most VC investments fail. That's not a flaw — it's the model. The thesis is that 1 or 2 companies in a portfolio of 10 return enough to cover everything else. Diversification across multiple deals is essential.
To invest in private companies in the US, you must be an Accredited Investor. The SEC defines this as someone earning $200K+/year (or $300K with spouse) OR with a net worth over $1M excluding primary residence.
As a professional athlete, you almost certainly qualify. But you must verify this with Roster before capital is deployed. This is a legal requirement — not a formality.
The information below is general education about how private investments are typically treated for tax purposes in the US. Your specific situation depends on your residency, income structure, how the deal is structured, and much more. Roster can connect you with sports finance specialists who understand athlete tax situations.
Here's how it works.

Roster is a private investment research and deal-flow platform. Nothing on this platform is financial advice. Private market investments are illiquid and speculative — you may lose some or all of your capital. Access to this platform is restricted to accredited investors only. By continuing, you confirm you meet the accredited investor requirements in your jurisdiction and have read and agreed to these terms.
This platform is accessible by invitation only and is restricted to accredited investors as defined under applicable securities laws. In the United States, this generally means an individual with annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) for the last two years, or a net worth exceeding $1,000,000 excluding your primary residence. By accessing this platform you represent and warrant that you meet these criteria.
Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment advice, a recommendation to invest, or a solicitation of any security. Deal information, athlete fit scores, analyst commentary, and all other content are provided for informational and educational purposes only. You should conduct your own independent due diligence and consult with a licensed financial advisor, attorney, or tax professional before making any investment decision.
Private market investments involve a high degree of risk. They are illiquid — you may not be able to sell or transfer your investment for years or at all. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Past performance of any deal highlighted on this platform is not indicative of future results. Forward-looking projections are speculative and may not be achieved. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and ensure private investments represent an appropriate portion of your overall financial plan.
Roster is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or crowdfunding portal. We do not execute trades, hold assets, or custody funds. Any investment you choose to make is made directly between you and the company raising capital. Roster facilitates introductions and provides deal research — it does not manage investments on your behalf.
All deal information, founder details, financial documents, and materials in the Data Room are strictly confidential. You agree not to share, reproduce, screenshot, or distribute this information to any third party without written consent from Roster. Breach of this obligation may result in immediate account termination and legal action.
You may use this platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You agree not to attempt to access any account other than your own, reverse-engineer the platform, or use automated tools to scrape data. Roster reserves the right to suspend or terminate access at any time.
Membership fees are billed annually and are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time and will retain access until your billing period ends. Roster reserves the right to modify membership fees with 30 days' notice.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Roster and its principals shall not be liable for any investment losses, indirect damages, or consequential damages arising from your use of this platform or any investment decision you make based on information provided here.
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
