Bullish Signals

Permanent capital — no fund lifecycle pressure; Berkshire-style holdco structure removes LP timeline risk that has killed many sports-focused VC vehiclesfundmomentum.vc/blog/...

Flywheel thesis: IP portfolio (franchise/league stakes) used as paid distribution and validation channel for portfolio Sports Tech companies — directly addresses Sports Tech's chronic distribution problemfundmomentum.vc/blog/...

Contrarian Signals
