Elysian Park Venture Partner Pete Vlastelica on Investing in How Fans and Entertainers Connect
Manage episode 322093938 series 3234195
Today on The Future of Fandom, get invested in the ways cheering for your favorite performer has evolved over time, from idol worship to surrogate coaching and quasi friendship, through the eyes of Pete Vlastelica from Elysian Park Ventures, the private investment arm of the LA Dodgers ownership group.
Pete made a splash in sports journalism as the founder of Yardbarker before being acquired by Fox Sports, and most recently, serving as CEO of Activision Blizzard Esports before joining Elysian Park. He's a battle tested champion of democratizing access to athletes and entertainers, and he's turned his eye today to wellness.
We deep dive on how fans are craving more relatability and accessibility than ever before and of course, talk about how that affects the content and experiences, which we all see today and going forward. Pete has seen that as an operator and now broadly as an investor, which is a first for us here on the show. So let's put our money where his mouth is as we predict the future with Elysian Park Ventures and Pete Vlastelica.
