Enhanced Games Land Multi-Million-Dollar Series B, Co-Led by 1789 Capital
Massive Investment Fuels the Enhanced Games’ Mission to Enhance Humanity Through Progressing Science and Sport
NEW YORK CITY, 13 February 2025 - Omeed Malik, Chris Buskirk, and Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital has co-led a multi-million-dollar Series B round for the Enhanced Games, alongside significant contributions from Karatage, Christian Angermayer’s Apeiron Investment Group, and other blue chip investors. This new investment will drive the Enhanced Games towards hosting its upcoming inaugural record-breaking event.
The Enhanced Games are challenging traditional sports paradigms by embracing science, innovation, and fairness, to create the Third Olympiad - a new era of athletic excellence. This landmark funding injection underscores the momentum and global belief in the Enhanced Games’ vision. The new investors will join seed investors Peter Thiel, Balaji Srinivasan, and Christian Angermayer.
Dr Aron D’Souza, President of the Enhanced Games, expressed his enthusiasm for the support: “With these powerhouse investors, we’re building something revolutionary - sports without hypocrisy, where the best can actually be the best. Our investors see the future, and they’re backing it with conviction.”
Omeed Malik, Founder of 1789 Capital, shared his excitement: "The Enhanced Games aren’t just another sports league - they’re a declaration of freedom. For too long, we’ve let bureaucrats and corrupt institutions decide what’s ‘allowed’ in sports and what’s not. That era is over. We’re giving power back to the athletes and the fans, and I can’t wait to see history being made."
Chris Buskirk, 1789 Capital’s Founder and CIO, commented: "The Enhanced Games represent the kind of bold, forward-thinking innovation that drives real progress. I’ve always backed ventures that challenge the status quo and push mankind forward. Just as we’ve seen breakthroughs in finance, defense tech, and media, we’re now seeing sports evolve to embrace science, technology, and human potential. This is an investment in the future - not just of athletics, but of a freer, more competitive world."
Donald Trump Jr., Partner at 1789 Capital, added: "For over 100 years, elites in charge of global sports have stifled innovation, crushed individual greatness, and refused to let athletes push the limits of what’s possible. That ends now. The Enhanced Games represent the future - real competition, real freedom, and real records being smashed. This is about excellence, innovation, and American dominance on the world stage - something the MAGA movement is all about. The Enhanced Games are going to be huge, and I couldn’t be prouder to support this movement that is changing sports forever."
The Enhanced Games are poised to redefine the boundaries of human achievement, creating a platform where the limits of performance are tested, broken, and celebrated.
