Here are the key takeaways from the article and how they fuel our confidence in Marvella’s mission to lead and inspire in this exciting era.
Key Takeaways from Deloitte’s Perspective
Shifting to a Long-Term Investment Mindset - The report emphasizes that investing in women’s sports requires moving beyond short-term ROI and adopting a venture capital approach. This mindset prioritizes values, vision, and societal impact over immediate financial gains. With leagues like the WNBA and NWSL leading the charge in North America, the focus is on building a sustainable, culturally significant future for women’s sports.
Venture Capital Fuels Start-Up Growth - Women’s sports are likened to start-ups, with organizations like League One Volleyball (LOVB) and Unrivaled securing significant funding rounds to expand operations and amplify their reach. These capital injections not only provide financial backing but also bring expertise and influential networks, accelerating growth and establishing strong foundations.
Grassroots Investment Drives Future Success - The report highlights the importance of grassroots initiatives—fostering participation from a young age, creating role models, and building clear pathways for aspiring athletes. This foundation is critical for long-term growth, empowering girls to pursue their dreams and ensuring the health and leadership potential of women across their lifetimes.
Tailored Infrastructure Signals Commitment - Dedicated facilities, like Brighton & Hove Albion FC’s women’s-specific stadium, showcase a commitment to athlete needs and signal a bright future to fans and investors alike. These investments enhance performance, attract talent, and unlock new commercial opportunities, proving that women’s sports are here to stay.
