NBA champion Kyle Kuzma looks to bring his team mentality to Scrum Ventures

Kuzma joined Scrum Ventures in March to advise the firm on its sports and entertainment fund which is targeting $120 million.

The partnership started in January when Kuzma’s agent, Austin Eastman, was connected to Scrum managing director and partner Michael Proman. “The thing about Kyle is, I personally didn’t really even understand how extensive his interests were in the venture space until after getting introduced,” Proman, a former NBA employee on the business development team, said. Kuzma started angel investing in 2020 and has built up a portfolio that includes soda alternative Lemon Perfect, which has gone on to raise an additional$67.8 million in venture capital; consumer data company, Surf; and watch marketplace, Bezel.
