Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment was hiring investment analysts a year go.
CVC plays here and Arctos like you said
Raine Group I’ve heard on another thread is top shop on street for sports
Wouldn't say top but they have very strong corp dev / startup exits in the media & entertainment space (one of the only few merchant banks out there, aware of another bank that had a similar model but the merchant bank ended up being split into two separate businesses - an IB advisory shop and a PE shop).
Arctos is legit too (interesting model, seems to be minority investors. Heard one of their biz dev seniors talk once, sounded sharp). Will also throw in RedBird Capital as a strong player in sports.
Private Credit side but Sixth Street has some experience in sports deals
pmd u if u have a chance

Traditional PE / PC / VC:
Amazing. Thanks.
Was a project of mine at work to build out the landscape so figured I'd share lol
Would add Dynasty Equity — providence spin off doing minority sports deals
Yeah forgot about this one, looks very interesting / promising.
Bluestone Equity Partners is a brand new fund that focuses on sports, media and entertainment. Just raised their first fund no more than 6 months ago
I know they've already been named, but couldn't resist mentioning Clearlake and Eldridge again so I can highlight the absolute clownish clusterfuck of a shitshow they've made since buying Chelsea.
This is somewhat related. I know there’s a PE shop that invests in recreational ice rinks and junior teams called black bear sports group
Pretty new fund but bluestone equity is in the space too
