Our Mission Statement

Preparing Georgetown student-athletes for professional success through education, experience, and mentorship that unites Hoyas past and present.

By Student-Athletes, For Student-Athletes

Athletes Invest’s mission is to bridge the gap between student-athletes and their career aspirations. We aim to equip these dedicated individuals with essential financial knowledge and investment skills, tailored to complement their unique schedules and future goals. Recognizing the unique challenges and time constraints faced by student-athletes, our program is designed to integrate seamlessly with their demanding schedules, offering a flexible yet comprehensive financial experience.

Our Founding

In the fall of 2023, our founders found themselves at a crossroads; their ability to seek out opportunities to advance their career aspirations was constrained by their commitments as student-athletes. They were faced with the unfortunate choice between dedicating themselves to their sport and pursuing pre-professional opportunities.

Recognizing the common challenges faced by student-athletes in balancing academic pursuits with their athletic responsibilities, our founders embarked on a journey to create a solution. Their vision was to establish a platform that would empower student-athletes like themselves to seamlessly integrate their sporting commitments with their career aspirations. This led to the birth of our organization, a unique ecosystem designed to support and nurture the dual ambitions of student-athletes.
