Wavelength is building a sports, media, marketing and entertainment group through organic growth and by partnering with founders and bringing complementary businesses together.
Sport is becoming an increasingly attractive asset class as institutional and private capital flows into an ecosystem built around scarce IP, passionate audiences, recurring engagement, live entertainment and multiple revenue streams. PwC forecasts 7.4% annual industry growth over the next three to five years and global sports rights spending is forecast to reach $67.34 billion in 2026.
As fans and audiences move across streaming, social, athletes, creators and live experiences, investment is expanding beyond the big teams and leagues and into niche sports, media, marketing, talent, AI tech, IP, formats, fan engagement and events. A fragmented market creates opportunities to build scale and unlock value through shared resources, AI, capital, distribution, commercial capability and network connectivity.
Many successful sports businesses are built by founders who have created valuable companies, brands, IP and relationships. But when they want to exit due to the market, smaller specialist businesses can be harder to sell, attract fewer buyers and command lower valuations, limiting both the founder's exit options and the value they can realise.
By bringing complementary sports businesses together, Wavelength is creating a larger, more diversified group with greater scale, recurring revenues and strategic value. This opens up interest to buy from larger corporate buyers, private equity and institutional investors and at much higher valuation multiples and potentially public market opportunities, creating more potential routes for exit and at a higher value for founders and partners in the group.
We are not creating a collection of unrelated companies. We are building a connected group of businesses with complementary capabilities, audiences, IP and commercial relationships.
The goal is to create a group that is larger, more diversified and strategically more valuable than the individual businesses could be on their own, while giving founders a defined path to liquidity and continued participation in future group value.
We are interested in early stage and established businesses operating across:
Sports Media · IP & Content · Brand Licensing · Production · Events · Talent Management · Sports Marketing · Specialist & Emerging Sports
We are particularly interested in strong founders with established revenues, valuable relationships, differentiated IP, niche communities and interest in the potential to grow with us and maximise exit value as part of a larger group.
We have developed a differentiated model designed to align founders and Wavelength around long-term growth and value creation.
Founders retain operational responsibility for their businesses and benefit from access to Wavelength's network, commercial relationships, media capabilities, talent, technology, capital and other complementary businesses.
Our objective is for all partners to maximise the value of what they have built while creating an additional opportunity to participate in something significantly larger.
Wavelength is building the next generation of sports media, marketing and entertainment businesses by combining founder-led companies, specialist expertise, audiences, IP and commercial capability under one group.
We are looking to speak with founders who want to grow their business, realise value and help build something significantly larger together.
Build your Brand, Maximise Revenue, Scale Your Audience. We partner with ambitious brands, creators, athletes and event owners to drive measurable growth.
