NFL football player Jessie Bates has invested in SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) through his partnership with Summit Peak Investments, LLC.
“As professional athletes, we have a rare earning potential at a young age before having business experience or access to leverage our capital. Access to unique alternative investment opportunities such as SpaceX build generational wealth for my family,” expressed Jessie Bates.
At only 25 years old, he values his unique access to investments such as SpaceX. He plans on making more investments in the future.
Blake Griffin is another athlete investor in SpaceX.
The investment partner, Summit Peaks, is a hybrid early-stage venture fund and co-investment firm backed by decades of institutional investing experience and is a top-quartile performance early-stage venture platform.
Athlete platforms continue to rise as the game of ownership in sports is changing.
