Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

Q Like, will there be a few NWSL teams that are very, very valuable and very famous?
A Oh yes. Yeah. Power law. Yes. No, I think it'll be, I think it will be a power law, but even in the big four in America, I think you'll see a power law where maybe it's ninety-ten even where so much of the value is going to very few of the teams because we know that's what software does. And right now, if it's eighty-twenty, Devoid of software, simply because, like, the Warriors know how to run a good basketball team. When you layer in technology, I think it, it shifts. Now, obviously, everyone can have access to that, but I do think there's a first mover. I think there's, like, even, it's little stuff. This is, it's gonna sound so silly, but like, the, the, the Clippers installing USB ports at every seat of their, so there's a brand new, so the big, so the Clippers have always been the second-rate team in LA. Sorry, Clippers fans. Uh, cause the Lakers, the number one team, uh, Balmer, obviously very successful, invested a ton in this team, and they've built a brand new arena, and one of the things that went viral recently was they showed off, um, it's not over to the public yet, but they showed off USB-C charging ports at every seat, and it's such a dumb, on the one hand, like technologically, this is moot, this is so stupid, anyone could have done this, but making sure everyone can charge their phone means making sure everyone can be on their phone posting content. Now, if th…

Q And so what then does that look like for you? You're the new owner. You're like, shit, we need to renegotiate media rights. Who do you go to? How do you get it done? What happens there?
A Well, okay, this one, there was just, this was a whole stampede of events. So unbeknownst to me, the NWSL also had this big scandal brewing underneath it. And, and there was a Yates report. There was a bunch of work very importantly being done to investigate all these other, A number of these other teams that had existed for horrible abuse of players. Uh, coaches mismanaging their authority, favors, all kinds of just awful stuff. And so the NWSL was going through this tremendous turmoil, not long after getting into, like, great, got a team, I believe in the sport, and then, oh shit, now here's a serious investigation happening on some serious charges. But it was actually the best thing that could have happened, because.

Q That's why you build media empire. Okay, so you, you invest then. It's crazy. The thing that we don't have investing in tech that you have here is ongoing cost though. You have to pay players. You have, how did, how did that work? And what was that ongoing cost there?
A So, so there is and there isn't. Like, if you abstract away There is a dynamic where there are some contract nuances to this, because obviously players, there's collective bargaining agreements, you know, there's salary caps there. It's not, it's not a one for one match to say that like, oh yeah, our star striker is the equivalent as like a 10 X engineer, but it's, it's similar. And so when it came to, uh, when it came to funding, it was two things. One, you know, funding off of good old fashioned revenue. Which is a nice thing, right? Just focusing on having revenues coming in the door that you can then invest more in the team. Um, and so it doesn't look as, let's say, high growth at all costs as a traditional startup. Um, and then there's also future rounds of financing. And so it was, it, from our vantage point, my thinking was, okay, this has been a slog to get done at Initialize. Now, not surprisingly, I don't know, six months later, I split the firm up. And so Caitlin, Lizzie, and I left, went and started seven, seven, six, basically took, took the, the squad and And we spun this up, and then I invested out of seven, seven, six as well. So now here's the net sort of next round of financing. Now, the, the, the bigger question and the bigger unlock that we can't control is when those media deals get renegotiated. Because when those get renegotiated, now you have a new sourc…
