TitleCard Capital assembles influential members from the fields of sport and entertainment, engages the power of tastemakers

DENVER, July 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TitleCard Capital today announced the formation of a new private equity firm whose innovative approach brings together the marketing power of athletes and entertainers and leading industry executives to add value to the firm's investments in growth capital or buyouts of consumer-facing businesses.

"With the launch of TitleCard Capital, we are realizing a powerful vision – a unique collaboration among some of the most influential tastemakers across multiple verticals coming together in strategic investments," said Tyler Tysdal, managing partner, TitleCard Capital. "Our strength in numbers approach will effectively unite smart, accredited investors with influential athletes and artists, allowing them to work together to further solidify our portfolio companies."

TitleCard Capital targets companies that will benefit from the private equity firm's consumer-facing marketing power across the sectors of technology, consumer products and services, specialty finance, health and wellness, media and entertainment and hospitality. Earlier this month, TitleCard led its first investment – a $9 million growth equity investment in the fast-growing and profitable online luxury mattress company, Leesa (leesa.com), which launched in January 2015 and was recently named a Shopify Build a Business Competition winner. Leesa is a beautifully designed luxury mattress, ordered exclusively online and delivered to your door within days. Leesa also proudly donates one mattress to a shelter for every ten they sell.

TitleCard Capital's innovative platform leverages the personal brands and marketing and public relations influence of some of the world's most recognizable names, including: Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Levine, Eric Decker, Jessie James Decker, Henrik Lundqvist and Kenny Smith with more to be announced. Each of the celebrity partners has the option of providing marketing support to the investment(s) of their choice, working closely with TitleCard Capital to ensure alignment; influencers are not obligated to endorse any portfolio holding.
