We’re proud to share that PAC has officially closed a $7.6 million Series A funding round, led by GSV Ventures with support from Maveron and a group of strategic partners who believe deeply in our mission.
Sports are serious business. On Under the Number, Brent Peus goes deep with the innovators driving the business of sport—from elite athletes and investors to visionary founders and executives. “[Professional athletes] are elite people who have had very difficult circumstances. The skillset they have is so strong—and it’s not their athletic ability, that’s table stakes. It’s grit, rigor, intelligence, drive, resilience. Everything that we hire for, they immediately have.” - Chip Paucek
