The 32 Equity joint venture turns media, fan engagement, ticketing, hospitality and tech into targets for league owned upside.
- Treat sports operations data, ticketing, hospitality and products as investable infrastructure.
- Watch control of distribution, not just fund size; league access can make portfolio companies more valuable.
- Terms matter because upside, governance and exit rights were not disclosed.
