According to the outlet, the companies have revealed that “Baron Davis Enterprises is advising and collaborating with Turn2 Equity Partners on its new holding company, Playrs Holdings, that will fund content creation, share resources, and maximize operational efficiencies”
“From the jump, this partnership with Playrs was a no-brainer when we collectively realized we share similar platform visions and could form a super team stacked with superpowers ranging from executive leadership, M&A, to authentic roots in the culture, content creation, and more,” said Davis, Boardroom reports. “We’ve each been executing, and I’m excited, as is my team, to do so collectively and on an accelerated timeline as a result of the partnership.”
A Sports Takeover
Founded by former Houston Astros manager, Dusty Baker; former New York Mets, and Baltimore Orioles general manager, Jim Duquette; and more — Turn2 is committed to the ambitions that media and technology bring from an investment perspective.
“BD’s ingenuity, leadership qualities, and competitive drive are the reasons he’s poised not only to win big, but to make that the case for those in his company,” said Turn2 executive and former MLB Advanced Media Executive Vice President Dinn Mann. “Just as much, how he’s wired, his track record and life experiences serve as a bold, informed runway to our futures.”
