Early life and education

Grousbeck was born in Worcester, Massachusetts and graduated from Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts. He attended Princeton University, B.A. in history in 1983, and rowed on the 1983 undefeated lightweight crew team that claimed the Ivy League and National rowing championship. He received a J.D. degree from the University of Michigan in 1986 and an M.B.A. in 1992 (Miller Scholar) from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.[4]

Career

After spending seven years as a partner at the venture capital firm, Highland Capital Partners, Grousbeck founded and led the group Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. that bought the Boston Celtics for $360 million in 2002.[2] In 2008, the Celtics won their seventeenth NBA Championship.[5]

While continuing his duties with the Celtics, in 2010 Grousbeck became Chairman of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the world's largest research and clinical hospital specializing in blindness and deafness research.[6] He instituted and led a capital campaign that raised $250 million for Mass Eye and Ear, and led them to join Mass General Brigham medical system.[7][8] In 2013, Grousbeck co-founded Causeway Media Partners, LP, a growth equity partnership managing over $330 million, investing in sports technology and media companies such as Omaze, Inc., Zwift, FloSports, Freeletics, Formula E Racing, and SeatGeek.[9]

Personal life

Grousbeck married Emilia Fazzalari in January 2017. The couple joined with fellow NBA owners Michael Jordan, Jeanie Buss and Wes Edens to fund Cincoro Tequila, which launched in September, 2019.[10] He sits on the Executive, Labor, and Media Committees of the NBA, is Board Chair of the Boston Celtics, and Mass Eye and Ear, and is a board member of the Boston Celtics, the Shamrock Foundation, Giving Grousbeck Fazzalari, Omaze, Inc., Cinco Spirits Group, Mass General Brigham, and NBC Sports Boston.
