A company for athletes,
by athletes
Why we started Joyned Capital
We are a group of former and active athletes who want “us” to do better.
Most of you have seen the news articles highlighting the financial struggles athletes face within a mere five years after hanging it up.
We believe that we can make an impact by providing athletes with the skills, tools, and mindset to change their story, our story.
Our core values
Can-do mentality
We don't judge. We analyze, act, and reflect.
Every problem has a solution.
Courage
We tell hard truths with pure intentions.
We test ideas, we don't defend them.
We operate from optimism, not fear.
We choose gaining long-term benefits over avoiding short-term pains.
Community
Sharing wins < Sharing losses < Sharing reasoning.
We proactively share our learnings.
We operate as a sports team.
Act like everything you say and do will be outlined in tomorrow's newspaper.
Creativity
We imagine, create, and iterate.
Rules are merely guidelines.
We dream big and act fast.
Continuous development
Not knowing something is a great opportunity to learn.
There is a solution for every problem, but not for every ego.
Our mental, physical, and financial health is a priority.
Mistakes are expected, as are the improvements that follow from the lessons learned
