Last week, we were thrilled to sponsor the Investor + Cricket Connect event in partnership with TiE Seattle and Stifel Bank! 🏏 The evening was filled with inspiring conversations, networking, and a unique fusion of sports and entrepreneurship. With over 140+ attendees, ranging from cricket fans to founders to investors, the event was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about cricket and the incredible work being done that has led to its meteoric rise in the U.S. The event was centered around an insightful fireside chat with Sanjay Parthasarathy, moderated by FUSE GP, Kellan Carter. Sanjay's journey is nothing short of remarkable—from his influential role at Microsoft, shaping global tech platforms, to his entrepreneurial ventures at Indix and Avalara, and now his exciting involvement with the Seattle Orcas. His passion for cricket and his vision for the Orcas are truly transforming the cricket landscape in the U.S. In addition to great conversations, attendees had the chance to try their hand at cricket bowling with the Seattle Orcas. Not easy! Thank you to everyone who joined us! Special shoutout to Minh Le who has been a staple to supporting the event and the founder community in Seattle.
