Game Changers Ventures

Backing the next generation of game changers across sports, media, entertainment, and technology.

[Roger Ehrenberg @infoarbitrage]

We @gamechangersvc have been working with Nick Benson and Sajan Gutta from earliest days. We explored how our shared love of data, infrastructure, fandom, disruption and sport might help in a landscape short on modern technology but long on opportunity. The result was @EquipeHQ /1

High conviction, concentrated seed investing focused on sports, entertainment, live experiences and the technologies that power them. We’re building something special @gamechangersvc and are looking for a (potentially final?) member of the team to join us!

Six months ago, we formally launched @gamechangersvc.

It feels good — really good — to be back building a firm from scratch around ideas and domains where I have deep conviction. Even better is doing it with @ssokol94 and @ethanehrenberg, and with the founders we’ve had the privilege to back so far. Early-stage venture, when done right, is not a transactional business. It’s a deeply personal one. Our job is to help founders become the best versions of themselves — as leaders, as decision-makers, and as humans — while they attempt something very hard.

I believe we’re doing that the right way.

I also believe what we’re building into is not cyclical, but secular. AI will reshape almost everything about how we work and create. Paradoxically, that will only increase the value of being human together — gathering, belonging, cheering, participating, identifying with something larger than ourselves. Sports, entertainment, live experiences, and the technologies that power them sit squarely in that shift. To us, it looks like a generational opportunity.

When I first announced the firm, I mentioned that we would eventually add one more partner-level person. That remains true.

There is no job description. There is no timeline. There is no “process.”

What there is: openness.

We are looking for someone who is AI-native in their thinking, intellectually curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and genuinely passionate about sport, entertainment, community, and culture. Someone who wants to build a firm — not just join one. Someone who extends how we think rather than simply amplifying what we already do.

This person may not currently be in venture. They may not even be in this sector. In fact, that could be a feature, not a bug. The goal isn’t incremental horsepower. It’s new perspective, judgment, creativity, and values alignment.

There is also no rush. The right partnership is discovered, not hired. We’ll get to know this person over time, and they’ll get to know us.

In all likelihood, this will be the last person we ever add. The aspiration is a very small, very high-trust, very long-term partnership — similar to what we built at @iaventures. That model worked pretty well, and it was a lot of fun.

If this resonates with you — or with someone you think we should know — my inbox is open.
