Grant Hill Joins Invest New York Sports Business Lineup

Three prominent figures in sports ownership and finance will join the speaker lineup for Sportico Invest New York on November 10 at Nasdaq, where industry leaders will examine investment, franchise transactions, and the expanding business opportunities surrounding professional sports. The additions are Grant Hill, Steve Greenberg, and Al Tylis, according to an announcement published by Yahoo Sports on October 20, 2026. The three speakers bring different perspectives on how capital moves through the sports industry, from athlete ownership and franchise dealmaking to institutional investment.

They will join José E. Feliciano, who was previously announced as part of the event's lineup. Hill, a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, has built business interests extending beyond his basketball career.

His ownership investments span the NBA, MLB, MLS, and NWSL, reflecting his involvement across several major professional sports leagues.

His participation brings an athlete-investor perspective to discussions about sports ownership and the growing role of former and current athletes in building businesses. The event's program will examine the people directing investment and the areas attracting financial interest across the industry.

Greenberg, a managing director at Allen & Company, brings decades of experience in franchise transactions and media strategy. His work in these areas provides a perspective on the financial negotiations and media considerations that shape sports businesses. Tylis, CEO of Apollo Sports Capital, adds expertise in institutional investment. His participation comes as sophisticated financing approaches play an increasingly significant role in the sports business landscape, according to the event announcement.

Sportico Invest New York is returning for its fifth year. The annual gathering focuses on the financial forces behind sports, including ownership, transactions, and the movement of investment capital across the industry. This year's event is presented by Inner Circle Sports, a William Blair Business. Nasdaq, Omega Sports, and Davis Polk are also listed as sponsors.
