Patrick Whitesell’s New Silver Lake-Backed Fund Buys Stake In Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions
Patrick Whitesell has made his first investment under a new Silver Lake-backed venture, acquiring a minority stake in Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.
The former executive chairman of Endeavor, which was taken private by Silver Lake earlier this week, is CEO of the new platform — which hasn’t yet settled on a name — in partnership with the giant investment fund that will focus on sports, media and entertainment businesses. Manning co-founded Omaha with Jamie Horowitz and has produced and sold over 30 television shows and movies, scripted and unscripted, to major networks and streaming platforms, spanning genres from sports to lifestyle to comedy. “Partnering with Peyton, Jamie, and the Omaha team is such a clear choice as the first investment for our new venture, given their impressive track record, the strength of the business, and commitment to applying the same energy to continuing the company’s growth.”
