OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH
WHY ASHLAND FOREST
Market Opportunity
Our target industries benefit from strong secular growth trends. Historically, capital invested in the sports ecosystem has concentrated on mega-deals in mature markets. As a result, many high-growth areas remain undercapitalized, subscale, and less-efficiently priced. This creates a compelling investment opportunity.
Proven Experience
With nearly 40 years of combined experience in direct investing, we bring a seasoned, disciplined approach to sourcing, evaluating, and executing opportunities. Our background spans industries, cycles, and capital structures—giving us the judgment and flexibility to navigate complexity and deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns.
Proprietary Investment Sourcing
As long-time owners and investors, we’ve built trusted relationships across the sports and entertainment ecosystem — giving us direct access to league executives, team owners, and their related businesses. This network provides a differentiated, often off-market pipeline of opportunities, allowing us to avoid crowded or ego-driven purchases and focus instead on high-conviction investments with strong risk-adjusted return potential.
Trusted Strategic Partner
We partner with high-quality founders and management teams, serving as a trusted strategic partner. Our goal is always to help wherever and whenever we can to drive profitable growth and build lasting enterprise value.
