This week’s Muse is Hadi Halabi, an entrepreneur building a new way to invest in sports.
After starting his career in investment banking, Hadi went into entrepreneurship to co found Stryde, a platform with a mission to democratize private markets by opening the door to opportunities that were once reserved for institutions and large investors.
In this conversation, we explore his transition from banking to building, the discipline required to spend more than a year navigating legal and regulatory hurdles before launching, and what it takes to create trust in a new financial category.
We also unpack how sport is evolving into an investment opportunity, from valuations and ownership structures to the role of media, technology, and long term growth, and what investors should understand before stepping into this space.
This episode is about entrepreneurship, access, risk, and the business behind the game.
