Thaddeus Young has carved out an incredible 17 year career being a reliable forward in the NBA. In 2018 Thaddeus leveraged his free time off the court to start Venture Capital firm Reform Ventures. Reform started in growth stage investing, and has since moved to a variety of stages. Reform has a portfolio that sports Billion Dollar companies Heliogen, AirBnb, Lime, DraftKings, and more.
