Meet Braxton Berrios
@braxtonberrios , an NFL veteran heading into his 9th season who has quietly built a portfolio of early-stage investments across consumer, sports, and health and wellness.
Berrios has been investing for about eight years, backing startups while continuing his NFL career. His investments include Palm Tree Crew, Better, SipMARGS, Long Drink, GetW, and several restaurant concepts, with millions deployed across early-stage companies.
Live from the
@floridafunders Venture Summit
When evaluating investments, he focuses on the founder, the concept, and whether he personally uses and believes in the product. He frequently co-invests with operators and investors, including Miles Shear and Mikey Hess.
Looking ahead, Berrios is exploring the possibility of raising a fund focused on sports, health, and wellness sectors, which he believes are rapidly growing alongside AI. Some of the portfolio companies he is most excited about today include Long Drink, Better, and SipMARGS.
His philosophy is simple: get 1% better every day, both on the field and as an investor.
