“The firm has to identify real talent and nurture that real talent. You’ve got to give them lots of opportunities because even somebody who is good can be unlucky and fail. As a firm, you have to make sure you have people that are going to work through that.” - Ben Choi Thank you, David Zhou, for featuring Ben Choi, managing partner of Next Legacy Partners, in this Superclusters series alongside Lisa Cawley, CFA, and Jaclyn Freeman Hester.

We're excited to give you an inside look into our annual meeting! This year, we had the honor of gathering our investors to celebrate our longstanding Bay Area roots. Being based in Silicon Valley means we sit at the epicenter of the venture capital, technology, philanthropic, and sports ecosystems, and our deep history and relationships with each are core to what we do. We heard from Next Legacy's partners, Russ Hall, Ryan Nece, Ben Choi, Kelli Cullinane, John N. Ailanjian, CFA, and Jessie Jia Guo, who shared more about the venture environment and our strategy, highlighted key investment metrics, and explored what's next for the firm. The day was filled with fascinating discussions from our guest speakers, including GP of Theory Ventures Tomasz Tunguz, LaunchDarkly's CEO Dan Rogers, Office of Reid Hoffman’s Content Strategist Ben Relles, and San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch. They shared their expertise on a range of topics, from how investors think about AI, to the path to becoming a successful CEO, the way AI is shaping the way we interact with content, and what it takes to excel in a high-stakes sports environment. In the coming weeks, we look forward to highlighting the key insights that our knowledgeable speakers shared. Thank you to the Next Legacy Partners team for your hard work in making this year's Annual Meeting an outstanding success! Ryan Nece Ben Choi Kelli Cullinane John N.

At Next Legacy, we are committed to equipping our athlete community with valuable educational resources and growth opportunities that extend beyond their athletic careers. In our most recent "Step Inside" segment, in collaboration with NextPlayU, we had the pleasure of featuring Malhar Patel from Applied Intuition. Malhar provided insight into the autonomous vehicle industry, the cutting-edge software driving it, and the challenges of data management. We are proud to support our diverse network in learning about these new frontiers and bridging the gap between their endeavors, both on and off the field. #NextLegacy #NextPlayU #Athletes #RookieDetermination

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Bay FC owners and athletes Leslie Osborne Lewis, Aly Wagner, Melissa Lowder, Emily Menges, Tess Boade, Jennifer Beattie, Alexis Loera, and Rachel Hill for an afternoon of diving into "VC-101." Despite the season being in full swing, these athletes made time to show up with a tremendous amount of energy and eagerness to participate, learn, and develop their skills off the field where they can. Their hunger for excellence in all they do is truly inspiring, and it is our honor to help bridge the gap between these elite individuals and our worlds of tech and venture capital. Thank you ladies for such a rewarding and inspiring experience! #NextLegacy #BayFC #VentureCapital #Athletes #NWSL

This week's 9th Annual Iron Sharpens Iron in San Francisco was truly inspiring! 🌉 ✨ In this intimate, off-the-record conversation, speakers Deborah Liu and Lance Armstrong shared candidly about the stepping stones and opportunities they have encountered on their continual pursuit of excellence. Where they grew up, how they quickly landed in spotlights, and the importance of finding inner peace and confidence were all common threads that have shaped these two elite individuals and their careers. A special thank you to everybody who came and to our outstanding partners, J.P. Morgan, Aduro Advisors, Cooley LLP, and NYSE for helping make this night possible. #IronSharpensIron #DebLiu #LanceArmstrong #Resilience #Motivation #ThePursuitofExcellence #RookieDetermination #NextLegacy

The #Olympic and #Paralympic Games are where the world's top athletes showcase their skills and unwavering determination on the greatest stage of all. These athletes push the boundaries of human potential, turning their dreams into reality through relentless grit and perseverance 💪 At Next Legacy, we are honored to partner with organizations and individuals that share our passion for supporting the Games and are taking Team USA to the next level: Guild is cultivating long-term success for athletes by upscaling Olympians’ and Paralympians’ dreams well beyond their sport (more on Guild’s support for Team USA athletes here: https://lnkd.in/gBta5_re); Trina Spear and FIGS outfitted over 250 healthcare professional supporting Team USA athletes, marking a historic milestone between the world of healthcare and sports; a dozen Next Legacy philanthropic investors serve on the board of directors or board of trustees for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, and dozens more support Team USA athletes through their charitable contributions. With so many wonderful performances, it’s hard to name them all, but we wanted to shout out a few of the highlights and achievements of the athletes in our network who are demonstrating excellence at the highest level…Ryan Murphy made swimming history with a third consecutive Olympic medal in the 100m backstroke (7th overall medal); Crystal Dunn won gold for Team USA women’s soccer; Stephen Curry led the men’s basketball team to gold (not to mention an unbeatable record of 11-0); Katie Bridge will be making her fifth Paralympic appearance and is attempting to win the 3rd consecutive gold for Team USA’s Paralympic women’s sitting volleyball; retired Olympian turned NBC Broadcaster Samantha Peszek was dynamite in covering the Olympic gymnastics events; and Kimberly Rhode used her experience from seven Olympics (and seven medals!) to coach the next generation of Olympic shooters. These athletes are just a few of those following in the footsteps of summer Olympic champions in the Next Legacy network, such as Brandi Chastain, Leslie Osborne Lewis, Kerri Walsh Jennings, Summer Sanders, and more. Throughout the Paris Olympics, and as the Paralympic games begin, we are reminded how proud and privileged we are to work alongside such a diverse, talented network of individuals and organizations who are dedicated to excellence. We are ever inspired and tip our hats to the men and women setting such a phenomenal example for the rest of us!
