LEGACY SHAREHOLDERS WHAT WE DO PARTNERS LAKE NONA BERLIN PORTFOLIO ADVANTAGE STARTUPS
LETTER FROM THE CEO Welcome to leAD! As you might know, the name “leAD” stands for legacy of
Adi Dassler, one of the greatest sports entrepreneurs of all time. But how can we ensure his legacy lives on? How can we support this generation of sports and health entrepreneurs or the next “Adi Dassler”? At leAD, we believe it’s our duty to carry his values, his entrepreneurial spirit. That’s why I always encourage my team to think like an entrepreneur. Accept challenges. Look for opportunities in situations others would overlook. Think big. Take risks. This way, we stay sharp. This way, we help our startups create their own legacy. Thinking entrepreneurial has led us to some great achievements so far. From a standalone program in Berlin, leAD has developed into the leading sports and health tech venture platform in just a few years. We have managed to establish our footprint across the globe, hosting events from the U.S. to Israel to India. For our leAD Lake Nona Sports and Health Tech Academy program alone, we have received 442 applications from 44 different countries in 2020! We know innovation is a team sport. Without the right players, the right coaches and supporters, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Our uniqueness comes from a setup of high caliber stakeholders – investors, partners, mentors – with a wide range of expertise in sports and health. And our ecosystem continues to grow! I couldn’t emphasize enough how important it is to enter partnerships that empower our founders and accelerate the growth of our startups. Our ecosystem is designed to support them throughout the challenges faced. For us, it’s all about the founders. Founders who are constantly receiving feedback and reinventing themselves. Founders who are doing what it takes to disrupt this exciting industry. Founders who live their true passion for sports and health. We are constantly asking our startup founders what their legacy is, what kind of change they would like to see in this industry. This way, we continue to guide and empower our entrepreneurs so they can create their own legacy. In this magazine, you can read more about the leAD ecosystem, our partners, and our portfolio companies.
I hope you enjoy the read! Until next time,
CHRISTOPH SONNEN Co-Founder & CEO at leAD, Partner at ADvantage
Legacy. Sports have always played an important role in the Bente family. Klaus, Horst and Stefan Bente were deeply inspired by their grandfather Adi Dassler’s devotion to sports and his joy in passing this passion onto others. While passion for sports became a connecting element within the family, innovation in sports developed into its key theme. Today, this is the foundation of leAD: the culture of support that is clearly shaped by Adi Dassler’s personality as a mentor, motivator and sponsor, and a pure passion for sports that unites the leAD team of entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, mentors, and startups.
Our grandfather, Adi Dassler, was always driven by the idea of making great sports ideas even greater and putting them into action. Today, he would be supporting startups in the same way we are doing in his honor.” HORST BENTE Co-Founder & Board Member leAD Sports

Lake Nona. The leAD Lake Nona Sports and Health Tech Academy is a joint venture between leAD Sports and Lake Nona, the award-winning, master-planned community in Orlando, Florida. The program focuses on “future of living” solutions covering three verticals: sports and health tech, smart cities, and the future of nutrition. Designed to attract the most promising early-stage sports and health tech startups, the leAD Lake Nona Sports & Health Tech Academy drives growth for entrepreneurs through smart investment and expert mentorship in a complete environment. The program allows startups to take advantage of Lake Nona’s exclusive Verizon 5G broadband capacity enabling participants to conceive, test, and implement their ideas and 5G-powered businesses during a six-month program.
We’re extremely excited to welcome leAD as a partner and create this one-of-kind environment that supports and enables innovators. Lake Nona has always been a place where ideas are imagined and tested. This new facility for tech startups featuring 5G technology within our existing well-being community creates a perfect ecosystem for the next great breakthrough that will transform how we live.” JUAN SANTOS Senior Vice President of Innovation at Tavistock, the Lake Nona developer.

Focus. All the startups on the program will have a focus on technology, the sweet spot around which the leAD network is centered. Within that, we are focusing our worldwide search for startups on 3 key verticals:
Sports & Health Tech. Sports tech, spanning a number of sub-verticals including connected athletes, fan engagement and derivative sports markets, is changing the world of sport as we know it. These solutions are increasingly merging with health tech, with golden opportunities arising at the intersection between the two to help people live healthier and longer lives.
Smart Cities. Smart, connected cities are increasingly harnessing innovative technologies to solve resource efficiency issues. Lake Nona’s unmatched broadband capacity provides the perfect environment for startups who leverage big data to solve everyday issues, particularly those which make us more active, mobile and healthy. In addition to that, Lake Nona’s existing community of health-conscious, tech-savvy individuals provides the perfect test ground for these solutions.
Future of Nutrition. Closely linked to health tech and illness prevention, the future of nutrition is a key component of the future of living. Innovative solutions are now bringing professional standard nutrition research & technology to the mass market. These solutions are poised to ultimately disrupt the traditional food industry as a whole, changing the way we consume food and in turn impact the way we work, play and live.

Berlin. The leAD Sports & Health Tech Academy program,supports and grows early-stage sports & health tech startups globally.

During the program, startups are mentored and trained in business, finance, investment, sales, marketing, team development and pitching. Founders are challenged to accelerate their learning curve, sharpen their business models, and tap into leAD’s network, building relationships with some of the most important players in the sports industry that would result in lasting mentorship relationships, partnership creation and follow-on investment.

We’ve seen some of our startups do 180º pivots here that put them into much stronger positions; that’s also why – to us – the founder is the most relevant factor when selecting startups for our program.” NATHALIE SONNE Program & Marketing Director leAD Sports

ADvantage Sports Tech Fund. ADvantage is the first truly global sports tech fund. Led by serial entrepreneur and accomplished venture builder Christoph Sonnen and venture investor and professional athlete Jeremy Pressman, the fund focuses on sports tech startups from Series A onwards. The $50 million fund is backed by leAD and OurCrowd, the leading equity crowdfunding platform for investing in global startups. ADvantage was created to fill a gap in the sports tech ecosystem. While the initial and later stage markets have developed substantially, there have been relatively few investors focused on sports companies as they scale from young seedstage startups to significant revenue generation. That’s where ADvantage comes in.

Who Knows Wins, the home of social betting, has launched a proprietary, cutting edge social sports betting platform that links groups of friends, peers and strangers with a competitive, interactive betting offering. The platform allows you to test your knowledge, view and opinions on numerous sporting events by either selecting your own bets and sharing with your invited group or sharing your view in public pooled betting leagues and social groups. THE MARKET The digital evolution — and the smartphone in particular — has had a big part to play in the growth of the gambling market. But sports fans are always looking for the added-value beyond the current betting offerings, with a trend towards a peer-to-peer system. In short, they can now interact with friends, colleagues and other sports fans and win, rather than playing against a faceless third party.
Potentially the more you know, the more you can win, and the best part is, you can beat your friends and not the bookmaker and really prove that Who Knows really does Win.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
Champions Round is pioneering the micro fantasy sports genre, developing round-based leagues that provide players the most opportunities to win versus seasonal and daily fantasy sports. Players can easily join existing leagues without the usual hassle of having to assemble their own, increasing adoption and lowering barriers to entry. Smaller commitment, easier ruleset, and more chances to win: fantasy is no longer a zero-sum game!
The Market The two current pillars of fantasy sports, seasonal fantasy sports and daily fantasy sports, engage players with tantalizing sweet victory.
1 out of every 5 Americans play fantasy sports, accounting for $32.8 billion in annual spend on fantasy products.* Despite these numbers, both modes produce a staggering amount of losers among their player bases. Players instead disengage the instant they realize winning isn’t a viable option. *Source: Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association
