Nico Rosberg Draws on Racing Experience as a Venture Fund Investor
Nico Rosberg spent 10 years as a Formula One racing driver, a sport considered among the most physically and mentally demanding in the world. He won the circuit's World Championship in 2016 and promptly retired at age 31.
That same year, the German driver founded Rosberg Ventures, a venture-capital firm in Monte Carlo, Monaco, that invests the wealth of high-net-worth European families in other venture managers' funds. Rosberg relies partly on his celebrity to get a seat at the table of the most successful managers and back what he calls 'generational' companies.
