RedBird Capital Partners is a private investment firm based in New York City that supports growth-focused companies by providing strategic capital alongside active, hands-on business development for founders. The firm concentrates its activity in three core verticals—Sports, Media and Entertainment, and Financial Services—where it seeks to partner with founders and entrepreneurs navigating rapid growth. Founded in 2014 by Gerry Cardinale, RedBird blends traditional private equity investing with a deliberate business-building mandate aimed at long-term value creation. It positions itself as a partner that helps leaders scale operations, optimize performance, and pursue ambitious goals beyond initial funding. In April 2026, RedBird Capital Partners announced the launch of Front Office Sports Studios, a video-focused venture formed in partnership with International Media Investments, reflecting a new emphasis on media-oriented content.
