Valtteri (Val) Salomaki @ EDGE SOUND
“Athlos played a crucial role in the very early growth of EDGE Sound Research. They connected us with sports tech opportunities, assisted in refining our business model, and facilitated connections with other investors. Breaking into the sports industry with our frontier tech solution is no easy feat, so I am thankful that Myles has consistently supported us throughout every step of the journey.”
Haitham Eletrabi, CEO @ Tennibot
“Myles is genuine, transparent and smart. He asks detailed questions about our company, team culture, tech stack and how we deal with tough situations. He is a relaxed, sharp and experienced entrepreneur, mentor and investor. Another trait that sets Myles apart from others, is his ability to make decisions quickly and regardless of “who else is joining the round”. Since coming on board as an investor in our pre-seed round, he has been kind, helpful, thoughtful and provided me with several ideas on how to deal with different situations like hiring, marketing and overall business strategy. I can’t recommend Myles enough!”
Louis Long, CEO @ Conquer
"Myles has been pivotal to Conquer’s growth bringing his expertise as a founder, operator, and investor in the SportsTech space. He excels at breaking down complex issues into clear, actionable plans and helping founders craft tight and compelling narratives to raise capital. Most of all, I appreciate the time Myles took to truly understand every aspect of our business. He spent hours with me helping build our financial model, talking through current and future revenue streams, and helping devise and adapt a plan for sustained capital efficient growth. Myles has connected our team with top investors and key clients. He is the first person I call with good and bad news about our business."
Ross O'Dwyer, CEO @ Locker
"I've had the pleasure to have Myles as a mentor, advisor and investor since meeting him during the Techstars Sports Indy 2020 accelerator. Myles has been a key sounding board around various items, but especially about fundraising. During our second round of funding, Myles advised me on various matters about it and we have achieved an 8-figure valuation with our company being just a little over a year old."
Tom Aulet, CEO @ Ergatta
"Myles has been great to work with as a founder. He's been practically helpful in thinking through fundraising, product and talent strategy, and he's been supportive emotionally which is not always the case for investors. It's been a pleasure working with Myles since our pre-seed round and I'm thrilled to have him as a partner and backer going forward."
