Flyover Capital, an early stage venture capital company founded in 2013, announced that it's making its first investment. Flyover Capital invested $1.75 million in a company called Opendorse, which is a technology platform designed to help athletes get connected with marketers seeking endorsements. The company isn't designed to help athletes like Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, LeBron James or Albert Pujols, who are some of the most recognized names in sports. Instead, the service targets the athletes in the next tier, who still carry a lot of brand power on a regional basis. Their clients include athletes like Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots), Joe Flacco (Baltimore Ravens), Jamal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs) and Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City).
