When Kobe Bryant was playing basketball, he says his focus was almost always winning. Now, he, like a growing field of celebrities, has found a second career in another industry where the stakes are high and the competition is fierce: Venture investing.
Bryant announced Monday he would launch a $100 million investment fund, alongside former Web.com CEO Jeff Stibel, that focuses on funding technology, media, and data companies. In doing so, he joined ranks with celebrities from Lupe Fiasco to Robert Downey Jr. that have said they would dedicate money to finding the next big win.
