Launched in 2023 by Australian entrepreneur Aron D’Souza, the Games challenge conventional sporting norms, embracing medicine and science to push human potential while prioritizing safety, transparency, and innovation.
KEY QUOTES:
“With these powerhouse investors, we’re building something revolutionary – sports without hypocrisy, where the best can actually be the best. Our investors see the future, and they’re backing it with conviction.”
- Dr. Aron D’Souza, President of the Enhanced Games
“The Enhanced Games aren’t just another sports league – they’re a declaration of freedom. For too long, we’ve let bureaucrats and corrupt institutions decide what’s ‘allowed’ in sports and what’s not. That era is over. We’re giving power back to the athletes and the fans, and I can’t wait to see history being made.”
- Omeed Malik, Founder of 1789 Capital
“The Enhanced Games represent the kind of bold, forward-thinking innovation that drives real progress. I’ve always backed ventures that challenge the status quo and push mankind forward. Just as we’ve seen breakthroughs in finance, defense tech, and media, we’re now seeing sports evolve to embrace science, technology, and human potential. This is an investment in the future – not just of athletics, but of a freer, more competitive world.”
- Chris Buskirk, 1789 Capital’s Founder and CIO
“For over 100 years, elites in charge of global sports have stifled innovation, crushed individual greatness, and refused to let athletes push the limits of what’s possible. That ends now. The Enhanced Games represent the future – real competition, real freedom, and real records being smashed. This is about excellence, innovation, and American dominance on the world stage – something the MAGA movement is all about. The Enhanced Games are going to be huge, and I couldn’t be prouder to support this movement that is changing sports forever.”
- Donald Trump Jr., Partner at 1789 Capital
