About Us
The Mission
We believe that sports and entertainment will take on an even more prominent role in society as our world becomes smarter and more autonomous at an unparalleled pace, giving people more time and an increasing desire to be part of social collectives.
Sport is an "Ecosystem economy", a network of companies that span across multiple sectors. Teams, athletes, leagues and rights can form epicentres of industry nodes that become more linked and more correlated as a result of technology development, evolving consumer preferences and new business models.
Our mission at Chiron is to couple these two ideas together to support macro trends and drive value-creation strategies. If you would like to discuss any topics around our investment thesis, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
