Thirty Five Ventures (35V)

Thirty Five Ventures (35V) is the single-family office and investment platform co-founded by NBA superstar Kevin Durant and his longtime business partner Rich Kleiman. Established in 2016, 35V serves as the central hub for managing Durant’s off-court business ventures, investments, media projects, and philanthropic initiatives.

Headquartered in New York City, Thirty Five Ventures is known for its diversified portfolio, spanning venture capital, early-stage technology startups, sports media, and entertainment production. The firm has invested in more than 100 companies, including high-profile names like Coinbase, Acorns, Robinhood, Postmates, Whoop, and Therabody. Its investment strategy focuses on disruptive, scalable businesses with strong brand potential and long-term value creation.

35V also operates Boardroom, a media network focused on sports business, culture, tech, and entrepreneurship. Through articles, podcasts, video content, and exclusive interviews, Boardroom offers deep insights into the intersections of business and sport, highlighting the growing influence of athletes as investors and entrepreneurs.

Durant and Kleiman have also ventured into film and television production, collaborating with major studios and platforms to produce documentaries and scripted content. Notable projects include the ESPN documentary “The Boardroom” and Apple TV+ series “Swagger,” loosely based on Durant’s youth basketball experiences.

Thirty Five Ventures exemplifies the modern athlete-led investment model—one that merges branding power with thoughtful capital deployment, media savvy, and cultural influence. The firm’s integrated approach allows it to serve not just as a wealth management tool but as a long-term platform for impact and innovation.
