ACFC vs Wave & ACFC vs Chicago

Angel City Football Club (ACFC) was founded in 2020 by venture capitalist Kara Nortman, entrepreneur Julie Uhrman, and actor and activist Natalie Portman. As outsiders to professional sports, the all-female founding team had rewritten the playbook for how to build a sports franchise by applying lessons from the tech and entertainment industries. The club's early success was reflected in its market valuation of $250 million as of its sale in July 2024 — the highest in the National Women's Soccer League. Equally important, ACFC had started to bend the curve toward greater pay equity in women's sports — the club's ultimate goal. But the founders knew there was much more to do to capitalize on the club's momentum. As they developed ACFC's first three-year strategic plan in 2024, they weighed the most effective ways to build value for the franchise. Was it better to allocate the incremental budget to investments in digital brand building or to investments in the on-field product?

The high-flying Angel City Football Club has new controlling stake owners: Disney CEO Bob Iger and his wife, USC Annenberg dean, Willow Bay. Their investment takes Angel City to a valuation of $250 million — the highest ever for a professional women's sports team. When the Los Angeles team started, franchises in its league went for as little as $2 million. In this episode, originally recorded in February 2024 for Masters of Scale, ACFC co-founders Kara Nortman and Julie Uhrman talk to host Jeff Berman about the game-changing strategies behind the team, created with a third co-founder, actor and activist Natalie Portman.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
