NEW YORK — The areas of sports and technology stretch far and wide, from virtual reality and wearables to sports science, esports and venue-related technology. What’s the one segment, though, that venture capitalists and investment firms are currently hesitant about?
Deepen Parikh, Partner at Courtside Ventures (CourtsideVC), spoke at the first annual Columbia Sports Conference on Saturday morning, hosted by the Business School at Columbia University and the Sports Business Association.
On his panel titled ‘Investing in the World of Sports,’ Parikh and the other two participants were asked about their ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ in investment areas at the intersection of sports and technology.
