We’re excited to welcome Jesse Randall to the Champion Fund Board of Trustees.
As the founder and CEO of Sweater, Jesse helped pioneer one of the first regulated venture capital funds built specifically for individual investors. His experience navigating SEC oversight, product structuring, and platform design gives him a unique perspective on what it really takes to unlock access—without compromising integrity.
Pioneering Access Through Innovation and Structure
Jesse built Sweater with a bold vision: to make venture investing available to the public, not just institutions. Through his leadership, Sweater became one of the first investment platforms to secure SEC approval for a retail-accessible venture fund structure—providing everyday investors with exposure to private companies through a professionally managed fund.
That kind of innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It requires operational discipline, legal precision, and a clear-eyed understanding of investor needs.
Jesse spent years designing compliant frameworks that translated the complexity of private markets into something usable, understandable, and trustworthy for a broader audience. He didn’t just believe in democratizing access—he built the infrastructure to support it.
A Trusted Voice in the Room
As a Trustee, Jesse brings the kind of insight that only comes from operating under pressure.
He’s experienced the complexity of standing up a retail investment fund—and knows the internal pressures that come with balancing product ambition, investor protection, and compliance execution. That makes his voice on Champion Fund’s governance board especially valuable as we continue building infrastructure for long-term alignment.
Jesse’s perspective helps us avoid common pitfalls in this emerging category—and ensures we remain grounded in the work of investor education, transparency, and design integrity.
He knows the terrain—and he knows how to build in a way that lasts.
A Fund Built to Serve, Not Just Sell
At Champion Fund, we believe the next era of investing in sports must be built around structure, not speculation. That includes governance that reflects not just who’s invited in—but how we protect and empower them once they’re here.
Jesse’s experience confirms our belief that access is a responsibility—not a marketing tactic. And with his guidance, we’re building a fund that meets the moment without compromising the mandate. We’re honored to have him in the room as we move forward.
Champion Fund isn’t just expanding who gets to invest in sports. We’re building the structure to make that access worth it. And leaders like Jesse Randall are helping us do it right.
Stay connected as we continue to build Champion Fund with the same level of care, clarity, and ambition that defines the leaders guiding it.
