Patrick Whitesell, Silver Lake Invest in Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions

Patrick Whitesell, former executive chairman of Endeavor, has made his first investment through a new venture backed by Silver Lake, acquiring a minority stake in Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions. This investment aims to bolster Omaha's existing operations and explore new opportunities in media and entertainment, following Omaha's profitable track record since its founding in 2020. Omaha Productions, co-founded by Manning and Jamie Horowitz, is known for its successful projects, including the 'Manningcast' and various documentaries. The partnership with Whitesell comes as Omaha seeks to expand its portfolio, which includes investments in creator-led companies like Good Good Golf. Silver Lake is providing $250 million in seed capital for Whitesell's venture, which will focus on sports and media-related investments. Manning expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Whitesell and Silver Lake to enhance Omaha's growth and fan engagement.
