“The fund’s leadership team brings together influential partners from the worlds of sports, entertainment, marketing, and tech — each contributing their unique expertise to help identify and support the next generation of high-growth startups,” Cashmere said in a media release.
“At Cashmere, we’re rethinking what venture capital looks like and who gets to participate,” said the CEO of Cashmere, the Fund’s subadviser, Elia Infascelli. “The Fund’s subadviser. “Josh is a leader in every sense of the word, and his vision, drive and competitive mindset make him the perfect partner as we continue to expand.”
Allen has reportedly “always been drawn to the world of business — how companies start, scale and ultimately succeed.” Outside of Cashmere, Allen is an active venture investor, backing startups across industries, including TGL, the golf league founded by Tiger Woods and the LA Mad Drops, a professional pickleball team.
“In sports and in business, success comes down to preparation, execution and surrounding yourself with the right people,” Allen offered. “Cashmere is building something special — creating access to high-growth startups that more people can invest in while also helping them understand how to do it the right way, with education and context. I’m excited to be part of that.”
