The Golden State Valkyries' story is crazy.
In 2023, the Warriors ownership group (Joe Lacob, Peter Guber) paid $50 million for a WNBA expansion team.
Lacob promised that they would win a championship within five years and also lead the league in revenue.
Now, in just their second season, the Valkyries have accomplished both.
• 12,000+ season ticket holders (90% renewal rate)
• 40+ sponsorship partners (JPMorgan Chase, etc.)
• $100 million in annual revenue (WNBA record)
• 44 straight sellouts (league-leading attendance)
• 2026 WNBA Champions (beat the Atlanta Dream)
And here's the craziest part...
Not only did Lacob and Guber negotiate a clause that let them pay the $50 million expansion fee over 10 years, but the last three expansion teams sold for $250 million each, and the Valkyries are now valued at $1 billion.
That is 20x more than the $50 million expansion fee, and it makes the Valkyries the most valuable franchise in women's sports history.
Today's newsletter breaks down all the details.

“Don’t need history to make it.”
