Temerity Capital Partners

What Temerity Capital Partners does

Temerity Capital Partners is the Sandler Family Office, a privately-held multi-generational family investment company founded in 2015 and based in Washington, D.C. The firm deploys long-duration, patient capital across four primary verticals: venture capital, operating companies, real estate, and professional sports team ownership. Rather than operating as a traditional fund, Temerity functions as a permanent-capital vehicle driven by the Sandler family's investment perspectives and social priorities, with a stated philosophy of "thinking in decades."

The firm's operating footprint is concentrated in two principal subsidiaries. Temerity Baseball owns and operates three professional baseball teams—the Greensboro Grasshoppers (High-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates), the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers (Single-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox), and the Lexington Legends (Atlantic League)—and holds minority ownership positions in the Tampa Bay Rays (MLB) and Tampa Bay Rowdies (USL Championship), as well as exposure to the Akron RubberDucks, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, and Lancaster Stormers via an investment in Prospector Baseball Group. Artemis Sports Group, launched jointly by Andy and Andrea Mitchell Sandler, extends this sports strategy into women's professional sports through its ownership of the Columbus Fury, a founding franchise of Major League Volleyball. These sports holdings are paired with stadium-adjacent real estate development aimed at community revitalization.

Beyond sports, Temerity maintains a venture portfolio centered on financial inclusion, RegTech, and impact investing. Notable operating-company holdings include Asurity Technologies (mortgage compliance SaaS housing RegCheck and RegData), RiskExec (fair lending analytics, which received a strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners in October 2025), and a venture portfolio of approximately ten early-stage companies including Esusu (unicorn-stage rental credit reporting), Vesta, Eyrus, Self Financial, Savi, Fennel, Resolve, 4P Foods, and Sunny Day Fund. Revenue is generated through a hybrid of subscription SaaS (Asurity/RiskExec), transaction-based sports and entertainment revenue (ticket sales, concessions, merchandise across the baseball, soccer, and volleyball franchises), and investment returns from venture and real estate positions.

Direct peers

• RedBird Capital Partners: Sports-focused private investment firm with holdings across MLB (Fenway/Boston Red Sox stake), European soccer, and media; directly comparable to Temerity in blending sports franchise ownership with operating-company investments.
• Arctos Sports Partners: Private equity firm dedicated to professional sports franchise minority investing; comparable to Temerity's MLB (Tampa Bay Rays) and MiLB exposure, though Arctos is a third-party capital platform rather than a family office.
• Henry Crown and Company: Multi-generational family office with diversified holdings including sports (Chicago Bulls, New York Yankees) and real estate; structurally analogous to Temerity as a long-duration family investment vehicle spanning sports, real estate, and operating companies.
• Ilitch Holdings: Family-owned holding company controlling the Detroit Tigers (MLB) and Detroit Red Wings, with significant sports-adjacent real estate (District Detroit); closely mirrors Temerity's family-office + sports franchise + stadium-area development model.
• The Kraft Group: Family conglomerate that owns the New England Patriots, New England Revolution, and Gillette Stadium-adjacent real estate; directly comparable to Temerity in combining family ownership, professional sports franchises, and real estate development.
• Mark Walter Group: Family investment vehicle of Guggenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter, controlling owner of the LA Dodgers; parallels Temerity's blend of financial services pedigree, sports ownership, and patient capital deployment.

Broad incumbents

• Eldridge Industries: Holding company founded by Todd Boehly with significant sports (LA Dodgers, LA Lakers) and financial services exposure; broader and larger than Temerity but a comparable blend of sports, media, and financial investments under a family-office-style structure.
• Bain Capital: Large global PE firm with growing sports investments (e.g., ownership positions in major sports properties); broader scale than Temerity but overlapping in financial services, real estate, and sports verticals.
• Ariel Investments: Black-owned asset management firm (John Rogers) with impact and community-focused investing thesis; comparable to Temerity in pursuing impact outcomes and minority-led portfolio companies, though it operates a public mutual fund platform.

Emerging players

• 26North: Newer multi-strategy investment platform (Mark Walter-related) with sports and alternatives exposure; comparable in its cross-asset approach but operates with third-party capital unlike Temerity's pure family-office model.
