AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TXV Partners, a minority-led thematic investment firm focusing on Human Performance companies that partners with founders across multiple asset classes, has entered into a strategic partnership with CAZ Investments. This relationship will provide growth capital and institutional support to TXV, allowing it to accelerate the launch of the Evolution Fund: a growth vehicle investing into growth-stage technology companies, sports teams, and adjacent markets. CAZ Investments is one of the largest GP-stake investors in the world, with ownership positions in more than 60 private asset management firms.
TXV Partners’ Evolution Fund aims to be the premier investment vehicle that targets the entire ecosystem of sports and its adjacent markets- wellness, hospitality, and media- creating a strong and seamless presence in sports and the broader commercial ecosystem around it. Over the last three years, Managing Partners and Founders Marcus Stroud and Brandon Allen have invested in early stage (venture) sport and wellness companies that have shaped both the sports and human performance markets. With strong results, they are expanding their strategy via the Evolution Fund to further cement the membrane between sports, fitness, and health at large.
“It was always our goal to grow TXV into a thematic investment firm with expertise across various asset classes, creating a cohesive ecosystem at the nexus of human performance: emerging technology, health and sports,” says Marcus Stroud, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at TXV Partners. “We are grateful to partner with a firm like CAZ, who has already helped transform us in so many ways.”
TXV Partners is actively invested into technology used by the NBA, NFL, and the Premier League. With the Evolution Fund, the team will bring technology, former athletes, and sports management expertise to the full range of investments across the sports ecosystem.
