Profile

Co-founded by 2x NBA Champion and Finals MVP Kevin Durant and his manager Rich Kleiman, Thirty Five Ventures serves as the umbrella for all of their business interests across sports, tech, culture and more.

Thirty Five Ventures includes a diverse investment portfolio, including companies such as Postmates, Acorns, Overtime, & Coinbase; a media and creative development arm; and the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation.

Projects under the Thirty Five Ventures umbrella include the ESPN+ sports business show “The Boardroom”, which examines the ins and outs of sports business and illuminates the world of sports far beyond what fans ordinarily see.

Upcoming projects include the Fox Sports Films documentary "Q Ball"​, which we will see its broadcast premiere in May and the scripted series “SWAGGER” with Imagine Entertainment and Apple.

Last fall also saw the opening of The Durant Center in Suitland, Maryland, the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation’s college pipeline program in conjunction with College Track.
