The Gemini Boat Race 2023: Supporting Excellence in Rowing
We are thrilled to partner with the iconic Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race for the third year running. The Gemini Boat Race, between perennial rivals University of Oxford and University of Cambridge, will take place on Sunday, March 26, 2023, on the River Thames in London. You can watch the race here.
Rowing is deeply ingrained in our founders’ DNA. In 2010, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss competed in the Oxford Blue Boat after competing at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. They drew upon the spirit of leadership and tenacity fostered by rowing when founding Gemini in 2014, and these values have underpinned our mission ever since.
From the start, this has been a natural partnership for Gemini, and we are proud to be the first fintech company to serve as Principal Partner — following a long line of esteemed institutions. Our partnership, which began in 2021, has helped broaden the event’s impact by increasing access to rowing facilities and education, and has supported removing financial barriers that often prevent prospective athletes from participating in the sport of rowing.
Over the past three years, we are grateful to have helped over 900 young people learn to row. Through the Boat Race Fund, we’ve supported projects with London Youth Rowing in Leeds, Fulham Reach Boat Club, Behind Every Kick and Brixton Wings in London, Ely College in Cambridgeshire, Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports Hub in Glasgow, and Warrington Youth Rowing in Cheshire. We hope the young athletes who are part of these organizations will take lessons from their rowing experience into other aspects of their life.
It’s an honor and a privilege to play a part in ensuring the longevity of such a treasured sporting event. We wish the teams rowing this coming weekend the very best of luck, and we are delighted to continue supporting the amazing athletes competing this weekend.
Onward and Upward!
