Thesis

Raine invests at the intersection of Sports, Content, Music, and Gaming — sectors they believe will compound from globalization and secular technology shifts. Their integrated merchant bank model combines proprietary deal flow from advisory relationships with deep sector expertise and a global network, allowing them to add unique strategic value as investors.

Likely not a fit for

Outside of core verticals (sports, content, music, gaming, and their intersections with advertising, commerce, and technology). No deep tech, general healthcare, generalist fintech, or enterprise SaaS.
