Our mission
There is no shortage of private and institutional investment in the sports, media and entertainment sectors, but Aser Ventures is about more than providing capital.
We marry investment with deep market expertise, making us uniquely placed to drive value for our partners, portfolio companies and their end users.
How we invest
Aser Ventures is a hub for leading investment opportunities.
We are not tied to a particular stage or scale of investment, from incubating new businesses to working with globally known names.
We invest in potential.
Creating Value
Our management team is made up of leading figures from the sectors in which we invest.
Portfolio companies benefit from deep market insight, strategic advice and membership to an ecosystem of innovative sports and media organisations.
Innovation
A commitment to innovation and new technologies unites our approach across the portfolio.
We pioneer new digital solutions and invest in ground-breaking technologies.
Disruption is in our DNA.
Our track record
Since 2015 we have established a track record of creating value for our partners and portfolio companies.
From building new media businesses ELEVEN, LIVENow and NEO Studios, to investing in innovative digital services, to securing year-on-year revenue growth for Leeds United.
There is much more to come.
