DraftKings tabbed their former Chief Marketing Officer, Janet Holian and veteran venture capitalist and athlete/celebrity investment adviser, Rashaun Williams to spearhead the new venture. Williams, who manages a $300 million-dollar fund for Manhattan Venture Partners and who was also an integral part in hip hop legend, Nas’ Queensbridge Venture Partners has been amassing a massive network of current and former athletes interested in tech and venture capital for a number of years. As he puts it, “DraftKings and I were running on two parallel tracks, me on the athlete network side and of course DraftKings being one of the biggest and most successful sports tech companies of all time. We ended up meeting during NBA All-Star Weekend in February and came to the realization that 1+1=5, which is how DRIVE was born.”
