MILWAUKEE — Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to expand his influence beyond the basketball court by engaging in investments with the launch of his new venture capital fund dedicated to supporting early-stage startup companies.

On Thursday, the Milwaukee Bucks star introduced Build Your Legacy Ventures, a fund that will primarily target investments within the spheres of sports, entertainment, and technology.

As a two-time NBA MVP originally from Greece, Antetokounmpo aims to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and investors, providing essential resources that will enable the growth of innovative businesses.

“This initiative is more than just about financial support; it is about building connections and leveraging my network to enhance the growth potential of various companies,” Antetokounmpo explained. “I am especially interested in assisting other entrepreneurs who have encountered obstacles, as they strive for success and expansion.”

The fund has already made its first investment, backing Unrivaled, a new women’s 3-on-3 basketball league.

In addition to his new venture, Antetokounmpo is an investor in several other properties, including the Milwaukee Brewers, Nashville SC, and LA Golf Club.

On the court, he continues to impress, having recently scored 41 points, along with nine rebounds and eight assists during the Bucks’ 122-106 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
