History
Revolutionizing Soccer Investment Strategy and Nurturing the Sports Ecosystem
Established with a deep foundation in vertically integrated Soccer-focused strategies, our firm seeks to invest in resilient, compelling, and differentiated opportunities within the World’s Game across multiple continents. Integral to our investment approach is a deep commitment to creating enduring partnerships and supporting efforts that benefit the entire sports ecosystem.
With the 2024 launch of its inaugural brand, Swarm FC, along with several strategic initiatives and investments slated for 2024/2025, Intrepid Sports is thrilled for the next stages of its growth.
Founded by Esmael Hill & Philip Wickstrom, former “footballers” and soccer enthusiasts by their own right with a passion for building companies from the pitch up. The two met on the field in 1997 and together in 2010 formed The Net Lease Group, a commercial real estate investment and advisory firm headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and the journey to Intrepid Sports began.
