Jordan Fliegel, a former pro basketball player in Israel and Europe, is the Founder & President of CoachUp, the athlete training company, and Founder & General Manager of Bridge Boys, a small seed-stage investment fund in Boston, with over 30 portfolio investments to date. At CoachUp, he works alongside a team of incredibly talented people. Their mission is to help athletes reach the next level in sports and life. Reaching another level requires dedication and great coaching, and Jordan believes that athletes should be supported in working toward their dreams. With more than 25 employees, nearly $10 million in outside funding, and over 13,000 coaches across the country, Jordan says “It’s been fun watching CoachUp grow into a national movement.”
