Did anyone catch Wimbledon this year? 🎾 Always inspiring to watch the greats in action and speaking of legends...
Let’s talk about what Roger Federer’s deal with On Running can teach every entrepreneur.
Federer walked away from a $10M/year Nike deal. Why?
Because he didn’t just want to endorse, he wanted to own.
He invested in On Running, helped co-create their products, took equity, and became a strategic partner.
Fast forward to their IPO, the company was valued at $11.3B.Federer’s estimated return? Over $300M.
That’s what happens when you think in decades, not paydays.
So if you're raising capital, building a portfolio, or scaling a business:
→ Think like an owner
→ Build things that last
→ Focus on equity, not just income
Ownership is where the real leverage lies, in property, business, or any industry.
