Your moves

  1. This year

    Take the recent LP window — it's the only door open on New England Patriots today.

  2. 1–3 yr

    Use the LP seat to build a real relationship with Robert Kraft and the next-gen family.

  3. 3–7 yr

    Position for the succession transition — a flagship name doesn't stay quiet forever.

  4. 7–15 yr

    If the family sells, be already ratifiable; if they retain, your LP stake still marks up.
