Every year, SDSI Mentors donate over 1600 hours towards helping Sports, Active Lifestyle and Healthy living companies scale, pivot and grow.  Our mentors are an altruistic group of executives that recognize the help they received throughout their career and want to pay it forward.

Our mentors are CEOs, CFOs, Directors, Managers, Founders and Consultants, all with deep ties to sports and healthy living.  Business advice isn’t hard to find.  But finding the years of experience and entrepreneurial know-how that applies to your business and your industry can be.  Fortunately for the active among us, SDSI exists to support the industry and community we all love.

Deep Industry Experience



SDSI is like ‘Miracle-Gro’ for your seedling or mature business. In a relatively short amount of time, you see results. And the mentorship is there to support, guide, and inspire you along the way, but you have to be all-in and trust in the process.
— Jared Koett, Founder & CEO of Invert Containers
