Owners treat many WSL clubs as ‘an afterthought’, Angel City’s co-founder says

Kara Nortman talks Monarch Collective’s sports ownership portfolio and potential investment in England

Many Women’s Super League clubs are treated as “an afterthought” by their owners according to Kara Nortman, the co-founder of the women’s sport investment fund Monarch Collective and Angel City FC.

Monarch last month became the first women’s multi-sport group by buying a minority stake in Cleveland WNBA, the basketball franchise joining an ownership portfolio that includes the NWSL teams San Diego Wave and Boston Legacy, and the German club Viktoria Berlin.
