56. Deepen Parikh, Partner at Courtside Ventures

Today, I’m joined by Deepen Parikh, a partner at Courtside Ventures.    Courtside is an early-stage venture firm focused on fitness and wellness, sports and media, and gaming.    In this episode, Deepen tells us about Courtside’s new $75M fund, the firm’s thesis as it related to fitness: including the reinvented gym, human performance, community, and personalized data. And we get into how he thinks about the team, business model, and market when evaluating an investment opportunity.    A quick announcement that we touch on this in the episode: Anthony & I are excited to be partnering with Courtside — where we’ll be working as advisors to the firm. So if you’re building a company in health, fitness, wellness, or sports categories, we’d love to hear from you.
