Sixers Innovation Lab is an early-stage venture capital firm and accelerator based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded by the Philadelphia 76ers and managed by Seth Berger, former CEO of AND 1. The firm invests primarily in early-stage business-to-business and consumer companies across sports, media, esports, gaming, and consumer packaged goods, with operations now spanning the entire United States rather than just the Philadelphia region. Its second fund, launched in 2022, totals $25 million and is backed mainly by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, the 76ers’ ownership group. While the firm takes an equity stake in each participant, deal terms vary case-by-case and there are no fixed residency deadlines, with support potentially continuing throughout a company’s lifecycle. The lab does not publicly disclose typical check sizes or whether it leads or follows, but emphasizes hands-on operational help including free workspace, housing, meals, legal advice, and marketing support. Notable portfolio companies include startups in esports and gaming, though specific named examples are not publicly listed in available sources. A distinctive point
