Huddle Up

At the heart of Huddle Up is a deep-seated belief in the power of accessible, insightful analysis to demystify the intricate world of sports business. Founded by Joe Pompliano, the culture is one of relentless curiosity and a commitment to delivering value to a diverse audience, from industry executives and professional athletes to investors and everyday fans. The mission is to break down complex financial topics—be it franchise valuations, nine-figure media rights deals, athlete investment portfolios, or the logistics behind global events like Formula 1—into content that is not just digestible but genuinely engaging. This is achieved by moving beyond surface-level reporting and embedding a narrative style that tells the story behind the numbers. The ethos is entrepreneurial, born from Joe's transition from traditional finance at J.P. Morgan to creating a media brand that he felt was missing in the market: one that could expertly merge the worlds of sports and business for a new generation.

The team culture, led by Joe, is built on the principle that individuals are the future of media. This translates into a nimble, direct-to-consumer approach where the primary focus is on building a trusted relationship with the reader. Every daily newsletter is crafted to be a concise, five-minute read that guarantees new knowledge and a fresh perspective. The content's authority is rooted in a comprehensive network within the sports industry and a background in finance, allowing for a unique spin that connects the dots between on-field action and off-field financial strategy. This dedication to quality and insight has fostered a community of over 120,000 subscribers who rely on Huddle Up as their go-to resource for understanding the money and business dynamics shaping the future of sports. The brand's voice is analytical yet approachable, aiming to empower its audience with a deeper understanding of the industry they love.
