Even if Andy Murray is still leading the tennis world, the Briton already has a look at off court investments to follow in the “tennis afterlife.”
The world no.1 has recently invested in 3 companies. First, Andy put his money in Murray, a Scottish company that is making roads out of waste plastic; this company is also financed by Richard Branson. Then, Sir Andy has decided to invest in a golf app, VPAR, that helps players to track their score and chose the right club to play. Finally, Andy decided to back Bijou Commerce that is a platform that helps retailers to build up mobile shops.
Why I have invested in these companies. MURRAY
Andy explained in a statement why he decided to invest in these companies
“I’m continuing to grow my portfolio through Seedrs and have tried to choose companies that inspire me from as many different sectors as possible. I was interested in MacRebur because I am really impressed by their ambition to make a massive economic and environmental difference to road construction worldwide.
VPAR appealed me because I enjoy golf and it’s something I could see myself using once I finish playing tennis, and Bijou Commerce is a ground-breaking tech company which will hopefully revolutionize retail.”
From Seedrs
Jeff Lynn, CEO and cofounder of Seedrs commented
“We are delighted that Andy continues to be so active in early-stage investment and his recent investments on Seedrs into MacRebur, VPAR and Bijou Commerce reaffirm this.
His investments have helped Seedrs to exceed a new milestone, with over £200 million invested into campaigns on the platform. Andy is a great example of an investor who understands this asset class and the importance of building a broad investment portfolio, into which these three game-changing brands within their subsequent sectors will add even more diversity.”
