The group,which boasts 100 members including Test cricketer Mitchell Starc and Wallabies captain Michael Hooper,has been on the lookout for high-growth start-up businesses.
De Boer said the athlete group’s belief in the Guzman y Gomez business “grows stronger by the day”.
“Most importantly as an athlete community,we understand deeply what high-performance looks like,and continue to be blown away by the quality of the management team and their continued execution,” he said.
