Ethan has been immersed in business and entrepreneurship from a young age, getting his start buying and selling sneakers in bulk throughout New York City while still in middle school. After his freshman and sophomore years of college, he interned at financial technology startups, gaining exposure to how software, data, and credit infrastructure reshape lending, repayments, and broader financial workflows. He later attended the University of Michigan, graduating with a BBA from the Ross School of Business with a focus in entrepreneurship.
Following the repeal of PASPA in 2018, Ethan developed a strong interest in the gaming space, spending significant time researching the market and ultimately building a comprehensive business plan for a startup with his brother, Andrew. During his junior-year summer, Ethan worked for Howard Lindzon and his firm Social Leverage (early investors in Robinhood, eToro, etc), where he gained hands-on exposure to early-stage technology investing. Ethan began working on gaming-related investments with his father, Roger, in the winter of 2022, offering a voice of customer perspective, while finishing up his time at the University of Michigan. Upon graduation, he moved to New York to formally join Eberg Capital, where he has played a meaningful role in sourcing and evaluating potential deals in sports, gaming, and adjacent categories.
Ethan most recently completed his MS in Sports Management at Columbia University while working at Eberg, further expanding his expertise at the intersection of sports, business, and technology. He brings a competitive mindset, rigorous work ethic, and deep intellectual curiosity to the GCV platform.
