Monarch Collective, a new investment firm focused on women's professional sports, has raised $100 million for its debut fund.
Why it matters: Monarch is seeking to fund what it views as the next big wave in pro sports, including investments in teams, leagues and adjacencies (e.g., media platforms, products, gaming).
Sixty-four games later, four teams remain: UConn, Florida Atlantic, San Diego State and Miami. Just as we all predicted!
State of play: This year's men's basketball Final Four has the second-highest seed combination ever. UConn (4), Miami (5), San Diego State (5) and FAU (9) adds up to 23, trailing only UConn (3), Kentucky (4), Butler (8) and VCU (11) in 2011.
