Description

Kara Nortman co-founded Angel City FC, one of the first celebrity- and mission-led women's pro sports franchises, where she pioneered a community ownership model that ties revenue directly to impact KPIs for girls and women in Los Angeles. She also founded Monarch Collective, an investment platform built around the thesis that women's sports are a mispriced asset class, where she creates a new institutional market by aggregating capital, data, and operating talent across leagues, teams, and media properties.
