Tim Tebow joins Winter Park venture capital group
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has joined a Winter Park venture capital firm.
Govo Venture Partners on June 24 announced the move to name the two-time college national football champion with the Florida Gators as a partner.
The venture capital firm focuses on early-stage companies. Tebow was drawn to the firm's mission as a reflection of his values and passion, said Managing Partner Rob Panepinto in a news release.
"Our portfolio companies are often solving problems that make the world a better, safer place in areas such as environmental technologies, fraud and theft prevention, and the modernization of healthcare," Panepinto said. "Through his creativity, relationships and energy, we are confident that Tim will help accelerate the growth of our portfolio companies. We also believe that some of our current, and likely future portfolio companies can be helpful in supporting the vulnerable people that the Tim Tebow Foundation is fighting for."
