Welcome back to the PositiveStocks Podcast, where we showcase the visionaries, investors, and innovators driving the next generation of growth.
In this episode, we sit down with Wayne Kimmel, venture capitalist, entrepreneur, and the founder of SeventySix Capital — a trailblazing venture capital firm that invests in sports, sports betting, and sports technology companies. SeventySix Capital is led by Wayne, Jon Powell, and Major League Baseball superstar Ryan Howard, and together they’ve built one of the most dynamic VC firms in the industry.
Wayne’s track record is impressive. Over the years, he’s backed and mentored startups that have gone on to become category leaders, with successful exits to major players like Intel, DraftKings, and Twitter. SeventySix Capital focuses on the future of sports — from data analytics, esports, and athlete performance technologies to media, betting, and fan engagement. The mission is simple: to build game-changing companies that are shaping the business of sports worldwide.
Beyond venture capital, Wayne is known for his passion for entrepreneurship and his dedication to building strong founder relationships. He believes that investing is not just about capital, but about providing mentorship, strategic guidance, and access to a powerful network that helps entrepreneurs thrive.
At PositiveStocks, our mission is aligned with spotlighting bold leaders like Wayne. We specialize in covering small-cap and emerging companies, distributing content to over 1 million online investors and more than 60,000 financial professionals worldwide — including portfolio managers, buy-side analysts, and research professionals. Through our investor awareness programs, CEO interviews, and distribution network, we help uncover early-stage opportunities and connect visionary leaders with the capital markets.
Wayne Kimmel’s story is a reminder that venture capital is about much more than funding — it’s about believing in founders, empowering innovation, and shaping the future of entire industries.
