Baller League chief: $100m cheque won't get me to talk to you

The Baller League boss has said a $100m cheque isn't enough to buy into it

The man behind Baller League has said a $100m cheque will not be enough to buy a seat at its investment table.

The indoor, six-a-side football competition, was founded in Germany but has since moved to the United Kingdom with plans to expand Stateside.

The likes of Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski were early Baller League backers, while private equity giant EQT Ventures is now on board.

This bullish investment structure, chief executive Felix Starck tells City AM , means simply having cash is no longer enough to get a seat at the cap table.

“We’re not looking for cash,” he said ahead of tomorrow’s season two kick-off. “We’re looking for strategic partners who know how to build consumer brands.
