Investment and management firm Champion Venture Partners (CVP), selected private markets infrastructure provider Templum, to launch an ecosystem of private funds spanning sports, hospitality, healthcare, real estate and venture capital.
CVP is a venture fund founded by former NFL player Marques Colston, former professional MMA athlete Nick Edwards, and venture builder Jeff McDermott. CVP’s long-term mission is to support former athletes’ entrepreneurial endeavors through its affiliated non-profit, BisonX, as well as extend access to private funds for the investing public through new and creative fund structures with low minimum investments.

Templum’s institutional grade operating system includes features such as investor onboarding with KYC/AML checks, automated payment processing, frictionless account maintenance, risk management and surveillance, and secondary trading, among numerous other features.

“CVP's partnership with Templum exemplifies our innovative approach to fund structures, expanding access to private markets with the agility and precision enabled by cutting-edge technology," adds McDermott.
“CVP is championing a new era of economic empowerment and innovation,” says Chris Pallotta, CEO of Templum. “Combining this vision with Templum’s leading edge technology infrastructure makes for a powerful combination.”
