Fergus Bell (Players Fund): Athlete Capital & Como 1907 Ventures

With Luca De Angelis unavailable, Players Fund co-founder Fergus Bell steps in. He recounts the fund's origin — his semi-pro football days in Italy, educating athlete angels, and the pandemic-era acceleration — and its thesis that athletes and artists should be small-check, high-additionality co-investors. He details their network intelligence tool, the three audiences they must educate (athletes, founders, GPs), and how Como 1907 Ventures, with its 25 in-house engineers, gives portfolio companies tangible distribution and integration.
