Rashaun Williams is founder and chief investment officer of Harbinger
Sports Partners, and Guest Shark on ABC’s “Shark Tank.” He is
also a limited partner with the Atlanta Falcons and has over 170
investments under his belt with over 50 exits.

Williams is the founder of his family office, Value Investment Group,
and was a general partner in the MVP All-Star Fund. He co-founded
venture capital fund Queensbridge Venture Partners, where he was an
early investor in companies like Robinhood, Coinbase, Casper, Ring,
PillPack, Lyft, and Dropbox. In May 2025, he launched Harbinger Sports
Partners (HSP)—a $750 million private equity fund to invest in U.S.
professional sports teams — alongside Mark Cuban and Steve Cannon.

An expert in illiquid secondaries, he started his career at Wall
Street firms such as Goldman Sachs, Wachovia Securities, and Deutsche
Bank doing over-the-counter fixed income. That inspired his journey
into illiquid secondaries in venture capital and now pro sports teams.

In 2007, he founded Dixsville Partners, a private equity fund
investing in infrastructure development and mineral companies in West
Africa.

With a passion for financial literacy and entrepreneurship, Williams
founded the Kemet Institute in 2001, a nonprofit focused on providing
free financial literacy, entrepreneurship and life skills classes to
underserved communities and schools.

He graduated summa cum laude from Morehouse College and is currently
on the board of directors for The Atlanta Opera, and a member of Kappa
Alpha Psi, Inc.
