Sports Business Leaders Philadelphia: March 2026 Event

Our latest Sports Business Leaders event in Philly featured 14-year MLB pitcher turned venture investor, Jesse Biddle of October Ventures.

A 2021 World Series Champion and Philadelphia Phillies 2010 first-round pick, Jesse offered a unique perspective that only someone who's competed at the highest level and now invests in the future of sports business can offer. We captured the entire conversation for the SBL podcast, give it a listen!
