ALONG WITH MARKETING EXEC STEVE STOUTE, THE TWO SUPERSTARS-TURNED-PROLIFIC INVESTORS BECAME CO-OWNERS OF BROOKLYN ACES, A PICKLEBALL TEAM.
Two forces in music and acting have joined to take over another: sports.
It was reported by Boardroom in July 2023 that Michael B. Jordan and Drake are among a pool of high-profile investors in Boardroom Sports Holdings’s Brooklyn Aces, a pickleball team.
“We’re thrilled to have this incredible group of investors join the Brooklyn Aces as we continue to grow the team and raise the profile of Major League Pickleball as a whole,” Kleiman said, according to the outlet. “It’s the idea of bringing people in that we could share in this with and utilize resources as the Aces evolve. Our investor group includes some of the savviest entrepreneurs in the business, and having this network on our cap table positions us to be successful.”
Among Jordan and Drake are CityPickle co-founders Mary Cannon and Erica Desai, LionTree Chairman and CEO Aryeh Bourkoff and Managing Director Alex Michael, Baby2Baby Co-CEO Kelly Sawyer Patricof, and more, per the Boardroom report.
