About the Leaders

Fostering talent. Sparking change.

Anthony Davenport
Founder

Social4M was founded out of a desire to create a networking platform that would elevate the sports and entertainment industry while championing diversity and inclusion. Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities within these industries, I wanted to build a space where business managers, talent managers, entertainment attorneys, and other professionals could connect, collaborate, and share resources.

What started as a small, focused group has since grown into a thriving network of over 750 members across Los Angeles, New York, London, and beyond. Today, Social4M is recognized as a premier platform for fostering leadership, innovation, and meaningful connections within the sports and entertainment sectors. Our members play a vital role in the success of elite entertainers, creators, athletes, and high-net-worth individuals, and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way.
