Sky Sports has been responsible for driving many of the innovations in sports broadcasting, and especially in football, tennis, F1 and cricket, that we now take for granted. Sky Sports' Director of Operations James Clement and Steve Smith, Executive Director, Content join Sports Loft's Yanni Andreopoulos to discuss the importance of innovation and how they are approaching it at Sky Sports.

The topic of fundraising is an ever-present for high-growth companies. Should you raise external capital? How much should you raise? When should you raise it? From whom? Should it be equity, or increasingly, could it be debt? In this members-only event, Kyle Charters, who leads Inner Circle Sports’ practice advising technology and services companies, shares his experiences from advising investors, growth businesses and acquirers.

Meredith McPherron, CEO and Managing Partner at Drive by Draft Kings, Lance Dietz, Partner at KB Partners, Nathan Peterson, President at Tagboard and Donny White, CEO of Satisfi discuss investing in high growth companies in sports & media, from both the perspective of the VC and the fundraising company.

In November 2020, we hosted our first showcase event, giving the Sports Loft members the chance to present to some of the leading investors and execs within the industry. Catch up on the successes they have had, the new clients they have secured, the new investors they have brought on-board and their plans going forward.
