“The goal is to create a multibillion-dollar diversified culture and content company, and I think that puts it in a pretty unique position,” said Gerry Cardinale, founder and managing partner at RedBird. “It’s not just capital; it’s listening to Maverick and LeBron in terms of what they want to build, where they’ve taken the company from a standing start to today, and then saying what the potential trajectory is.”

“We’ll be able to finance our own projects. We’re going to build up our physical production arm so we’ll be able to finance and control the production of the things we make. So when we talk about empowering creators, we can really leave creators in control,” said Mavericks Carter. 

Having said that, RedBird partnered with Fenway Sports Group, Nike and Epic Games for this investment round.
