Local Pitch Ventures

Local Pitch Ventures, LLC (LPV) is an investment and operations group dedicated to accelerating the game of women's football throughout the globe. Our current mission is to acquire majority ownership stakes in a number of professional women's clubs, semi-professional teams, challenger leagues, youth academies, football related events and complimentary sports within markets of interest. Our vision is to enhance the value of brands, grow enterprise value, increase the level of play, develop communities, support families, and provide opportunities to young girls not only with a dream to play at the top level but to eventually work in it or find the career path of their dreams using football as their pathway. With a presence in England, Portugal as well as both the East and West Coasts of the United States, our diverse team of experts cross pollinates successful careers in world football (as a manager, coach, consultant, club executive, and technical director), entrepreneurship, business development, brand building, investment banking, legal expertise, and venture capital. Our long-term aim includes the development of a Multi Football Project Ownership (MFPO) network. We recognize immense growth potential in the women's game as is supported by increasing viewers/interest, sponsorship, revenue, and conversations about the game globally. Our approach focuses on enhancing the family experience at matches, offering increased funding for players and staff, activating innovative sponsorship, pipeline and collaboration strategies, and building a brand that offers significant development opportunities for young women. Additionally, we place major investment into storytelling, branding, developing pathways in underdeveloped/poverty stricken countries and use a variety of media sources to grow our projects, create "heroes", open doors for players in our ecosystem and increase financial sustainability.
