Sailing Forward: Assia Grazioli-Venier’s Vision for the Future of Sports and Venture Capital

In this bonus episode of The Future of How We Care podcast, we’re excited to share a special highlight from our summer break. Earlier this summer, our founding partner Assia Grazioli-Venier delivered a powerful keynote presentation at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix by SailGP, a pioneering global sailing league founded by Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts in 2018. Known for its cutting-edge F50 catamarans and dedication to sustainability and gender equality in sports, SailGP embodies the future of competitive sports, and sailing.

 

Assia shared a heartfelt reflection on her personal journey, deeply intertwined with her family’s adventurous sailing legacy that traces back to her father’s historic voyage in the inaugural whitbread race 50 years ago. Her speech resonated with resilience and the valuable life lessons learned from sailing, which have profoundly influenced her career spanning technology, sports, and venture capital.

 

Assia’s presentation highlighted the transformative impact of diversity and the significant opportunities for investment in women’s health and sports. At Muse Capital, we are proud to support Assia’s vision for fostering innovation and driving positive change. This aligns with our mission, led by partners Assia Grazioli-Venier and Rachel Springate, to make meaningful advancements in venture capital and beyond.

 

Tune in to hear Assia’s inspiring insights and reflections on the intersection of sailing, sustainability, and the future of sports.
