Roger Ehrenberg is, of course, deserving of every bit of this praise; however, Simon is far too humble with respect to his own role in shaping Game Changers Ventures . His energy, passion, and belief in what we’re building have been infectious from day one. He practices what he preaches: work hard, play hard, and leave it all on the field for our founders. I've learned an incredible amount in a short period of time working alongside him, and can't wait to continue to build the firm together (alongside our newest addition 😉). One year down, and many more to go. Simon Sokol Simon Sokol 1w Ethan Ehrenberg shared this Roger Ehrenberg wakes up, puts his feet on the floor, and says “let’s fucking go.” Every morning, for decades. I’ve spent the past 12 months building Game Changers Ventures with him. Here are 12 things I’ve watched one of the best in VC actually do: 1) He is constantly working. Whether it’s a 6am text or a midnight email, he is responsive. Every day. Always on and it’s not for show. It’s in service of founders and, in this business, availability compounds. 2) Why wait to do something that can be done now? That’s his whole operating system. Speed is a habit for him, not a special effort. 3) No task is beneath him. From the weeds of a financial model to cold linkedin inbounds, he does it all. No army of junior analysts for the grunt work. The byproduct: a lean, flat team where everyone does everything. 4) He understands that a good life is a fun life. He takes the work very seriously, himself much less so. Our culture relies on balance: work hard, play hard. 5) He has the hard conversation today. No sugar coating, no waiting for a better moment that never comes. Radical transparency is easy to put on a slide. Watching someone live it daily is something else. 6) Most VCs guard their rolodex, even from their partners. Roger opened his network to me on day one. The firm and the portfolio winning is all that matters. Hoarding relationships optimizes the wrong scoreboard. 7) He gives up slices to grow the pie. Roger doesn’t nickel and dime anyone, Partners included. It looks like generosity, and it is. It’s also the correct math if you’re playing a 25 year game, which he is. 8) Most GPs keep younger partners away from their LPs. Insurance in case they leave. Roger does the opposite. Build the best firm, share the upside fairly, and no one great has a reason to leave. Retention through ambition, not lock-in. 9) Roger goes ALL IN. When he moved from generalist VC into sports, he became a team owner and built his network across the industry’s key stakeholders. There’s no one he can’t get to and that’s by design. 10) He hires great people and trusts them. If you truly believe your team is great, you shouldn’t micromanage. At the same time, he’s a founder who cares deeply about the details. A fine balance executed well. 11) He treats hiring like the product. The team you build is the company you build, so quality comes first. A players only want to work with A players. That being said, culture fit is non-negotiable. Our newest addition to the team (announcement coming soon) reflects exactly this. 12) He built the team to win together, because together beats alone. Different backgrounds, overlapping POVs, same wiring. Fiercely competitive, deeply empathetic for founders. The goal is to be the best in the industry. Anything short is beneath it. None of this is luck. That’s the point. The greats in this business are made by unglamorous daily choices, most of them before the median VC has had their coffee. Year one down. Let’s fucking go. 22 1 Comment Copy LinkedIn Facebook X Ethan Ehrenberg reacted on this Report this post Ethan Ehrenberg reacted on this Game Changers Ventures Game Changers Ventures 1w Ethan Ehrenberg reacted on this Good news, Michigan students: you've got a few more days!

This role will not be for everyone, but if you think it is for you, shoot me an email at andrew@branddetroit.com and let’s talk. We will pay very well for the right candidate. NOTE: this role will likely start on contract, with the objective of evolving into full time. Key Requirements: - God-tier with an iPhone Camera (ability to work with/direct videographers on certain projects is a plus) - Excellent video editing skills (Final Cut, CapCut, etc.) - Paid and organic social media marketing experience - Social media and marketing analytics proficiency across Meta products, TikTok, Google SEO, etc. - Pop-culture and trend-obsessed; student of modern brands and tactics - CPG and/or hospitality marketing experience is a big plus - Interest and experience working with a broad suite of generative AI tools is a plus - Willing to live and work in Detroit (suburbs are okay, I guess, but in the city is preferred) If this sounds like you or anyone you know, hit me up.

We believe that every young athlete deserves the kind of health care a pro gets, no matter where they live or what their family can afford. Right now, that's not the reality. A kid takes a hit and the options are an ER, an urgent care, or a weeks-long wait to see a specialist. The system wasn't built for them. At Cognify, we're building the default healthcare layer for youth sports, starting with concussions. We connect families to a concussion specialist via telehealth within 24 hours - with a full return-to-learn and return-to-play plan to get kids safely back to the classroom and back on the field. Concussion care is the entry point. The vision is fully integrated healthcare for youth athletics, nationwide. Thank you to Game Changers Ventures for leading with conviction, to the world-class doctors building this with us (Lakers, Chargers, USA Basketball, UCLA BrainSPORT), and to every family and coach who's trusted us early. We're just getting started. Big thank you to Sports Business Journal and Ethan Joyce for the feature!
