On this episode of the Sports Business Leaders podcast, we're bringing you a front-row seat to our April Philadelphia fireside chat featuring Sydney Couval, Principal at NewBound Venture Capital.
NewBound is a consumer-centric, early-stage VC firm investing in the companies reshaping sports, media, and lifestyle — with a portfolio that includes TMRW Sports, StellarAlgo, and Greyson Clothiers. Sydney sits at the center of that work, leading sourcing and evaluation, partnering with founders on growth strategy and capital planning, and serving on the boards of Alice Mushrooms and Gratsi.
Before NewBound, Sydney built a unique cross-disciplinary background spanning venture investing, deep tech, and advanced materials research — and she holds a degree in Physics from Northeastern University.
In our conversation, we dig into how shifting consumer behavior is driving a systemic evolution in the modern economy, what NewBound looks for in early-stage founders, and what it really takes to build an authentic brand in sports and lifestyle today.
