Sunlake Capital LLC is a private investment firm focused on long-term private equity investments in companies that possess a sustainable competitive advantage. The firm has unique experience and interest in the martial arts and combat sports industries and related products and services.

​

Sunlake Capital invests in companies serving, supplying, and enhancing the martial arts and combat sports industries. We have significant experience in the conventional martial arts industry, as well as a deep appreciation for the variety of organizations supporting professional combat sports. 

 

We are focused on both the conventional/traditional martial arts industry as well as the business ecosystem supporting professional combat sports and media. Large private equity firms and sovereign funds have made significant investments in professional combat sports and MMA businesses, including UFC, Bellator/PFL, ONE Championship, and others. Sunlake is focused on supporting this growing investment area with investments in lower- and middle-market businesses that participate in the ongoing proliferation of these major combat sports organizations. Moreover, as popularity of MMA, combat sports and related media increases, the conventional martial arts industry also benefits via participation of new demographics and generally broader appeal.
