Drew Jacobs · Lawyer · Operator · Founder

I help interesting people make ambitious things happen.

Across sports, entertainment, gaming, and startups, I work with founders, operators, athletes, and creators turning ideas into companies, products, deals, and careers. This is where I share what I’m learning from inside the work.

The through-line

Four arenas. One through-line.

I’m drawn to people with something to prove and ideas that do not fit neatly into old categories.

01

Sports & Talent

Athletes, teams, leagues, and the businesses forming around talent. I’m interested in how careers become companies—and who owns the upside.

02

Entertainment & Creators

The people turning attention, taste, and intellectual property into durable businesses, without giving away the leverage that made them valuable.

03

Gaming & Emerging Markets

Products and companies built where competition, technology, culture, and regulation collide.

04

Startups & Operators

Founders and operators taking ideas that do not fit the old playbook and making them real.

Across all four: ownership, deals, leverage, technology, distribution, and the structure that helps good work keep moving.

About

Andrew “Drew” Jacobs, Esq.
Licensed in NY · NJ · OH

Lawyer by training. Operator by temperament.

I have always been drawn to rooms where talented people are trying to make something happen. Walking on at Boston College taught me to earn a role before anyone promised me one. I bring that instinct to founders, athletes, creators, and operators building across sports, entertainment, gaming, and startups.

Jacobs Counsel is the legal platform. Court Vision is where I follow the people and ideas moving these industries. The Bootcamp brings the ecosystem into one room. This site connects the pieces.
