Next Legacy Partners

Harnessing the power of venture capital to create positive change for all.

[Next Legacy Partners @NextLegacy_]

Next Play Capital & Legacy Venture have joined forces as Next Legacy Partners.

Our mission is to amplify the impact of our diverse community of philanthropists, athletes, cultural luminaries, venture capitalists, and founders through outsized venture capital returns.

[Next Legacy Partners @NextLegacy_]

Against the backdrop of the iconic @NYSE, we had the privilege of hosting an incredible group of founders, VCs, athletes, and cultural leaders for our NYC edition of Iron Sharpens Iron.

A big thank you to Jason Wright and Sheila Johnson for sharing lessons of excellence with us.

[Venture Forward @VCForward]

The industry grows stronger when experienced investors give back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the women who share their time and expertise across our programs—mentoring, advising, and paving the way for the next generation of VCs—in addition to excelling at their day jobs as successful investors.

Enjoyed this fun conversation with @benjichoi (who's one of our LPs via @NextLegacy_) and @cupazhou from @SuperclustersLP! We covered a wide range of topics: from my fascination with The Dark Knight, to not overthinking about Plan B when starting @AudaciousHQ, to growing up as an introvert but then embracing the why and how to wear my ambition on my sleeve!

[Next Legacy Partners @NextLegacy_]

We had the incredible opportunity to bring our athlete community to Silicon Valley! 🌟
