Wimbledon (almost) bids farewell to the legendary Andy Murray. Five years ago, Thomas and Philip, founders of Castore, launched their sportswear brand with funds from their parents' remortgaged house. Shortly after launch, they heard that Andy was looking for a new brand partner, one that shared his values— #betterneverstops —and one that respected his experience and ambition. The Castore x Andy Murray partnership has flourished, propelling the business to over £200 million in annual revenue. The alignment among Andy, Tom, and Phil is exceptional, marked by unmatched drive and ambition. Andy took a significant risk by backing a small business, and he deserves immense respect for his unwavering support while facing his own challenges. I'll miss his extraordinary passion and resilience on court, but there's no doubt he'll channel that same determination off the court. Big respect Andy and thanks for supporting these extraordinary founders to build a great British brand! #startups #brandswithpurpose #venturecapital
