THE VELOCITY OPPORTUNITY FUND
Velocity has established the Velocity Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) to capitalize on the disruptive transformation of Intellectual Property (“IP”), which is accelerating due to technological advancements and the creation of new monetization channels. The power and stability of IP, combined with this disruption, and the evolution of new industries (i.e., sports betting), has led to an explosion of compelling and institutionally investable companies. The Fund does not invest in sports teams by design but prioritizes new verticals that have been established as a result of IP institutionalization.
Our Target Verticals are undergoing a seismic shift due to i) changing consumer behaviors, ii) technological innovation, and iii) the evolution of new investable industries
