Powerhouse Capital's Salim: Why ETN & Media Frameworks
Salim, co-founder and managing partner of Powerhouse Capital — an LA firm born inside CAA that invests in tech-driven sports media and entertainment — explains why the firm invested in ETN. He lays out his three criteria (platforms with network effects, data-driven personalisation, direct-to-community), the digital Pareto principle that 10% of fans drive 90% of value, and The Athletic's sale to the New York Times as the case study in building national media from local roots. He also shares the firm's 'sight, sound, play, live' framework and John Malone's maxim that content is king but distribution is the king-maker.
