| | We are excited to participate in FC32's seed round ahead of an upcoming priced Series A round in 2025. | FC32 is a specialized soccer platform focused on acquiring and operating soccer clubs in Europe with an emphasis on the player as a core asset. The company has already acquired two of their seven teams, with lots of potential candidates in the pipeline. | Their topmost club will be an Italian Serie A team. | Serie A is one of the most elite soccer leagues in the world, but still downstream from the Premier League, which is a target exit market for players in the FC32 system. | The round is more than 80% filled with multiple investors looking to take large allocations as things come to a close in the next month. We are looking to move quickly and gather commitments by October 1st. | | | Company Overview: | FC32 is focused on player development, dubbing teams as hardware and players as software. | The company uses internal data science platforms to optimize player development and selection. Advanced analytics provide immediate value to mid-tier teams who could not otherwise warrant developing such robust systems. | Their revenue focus is on player transfers upstream, as the European player transfer market is $10B annually, with the Premier League accounting for 33% of that spend. | Single soccer clubs rarely make money on player transfers, since each player sale leads to a gap in the roster that they need to fill by bringing in a new player. By owning multiple clubs, FC32 can move players internally between clubs without incurring transfer fees. This allows the company to buy players for low values, develop them, move them upwards, and then sell them for a high margin transfer fee. | The average sale price of an athlete from the youth academy to their first pro team is $167K The average sale price of an athlete being sold into the Premier League is $20M A known sports investment fund with a 7 team multi-club structure saw $130M+ in net revenue without a specialized focus on player development
| To date, FC32 has acquired 2 of their 7+ teams: | SKN St. Polten (Austria 2nd league). Largest city in lower Austria, 40 minutes from Vienna. Stadium seats 8,000 | Cobh Ramblers FC (Ireland 2nd league). 30 minutes from Cork, one of Ireland's more populous cities. Stadium seats 5,000 |  | st. polten |
| | FC32 has a unique advantage as a buyer; owners give them great pricing and stock swap financing is common as most owners believe in the platform and look to come on as equity partners rather than collect cash. | The multi-club model is where the future of soccer is headed. As top soccer clubs look to adopt this structure, FC32 is poised to be an attractive acquisition target over the next 3-6 years. | Investors will see returns from: | | Projected 11X return on investment. | | | Team | Paul Francis | CEO: | Global Head of Sports Science at Adidas Worked with top flight soccer teams, NFL teams, and Olympic teams Senior Director of Innovation at Nike Advisor to Workweek and Strava
