A bit of background on both men:

Larry Berg is an LAFC co-owner who is also a senior partner at 26 North. He is a former Senior Partner at Apollo Global Management and former Chairman of McGraw-Hill Education. Berg currently serves as board member of the LAFC Foundation. Berg was a limited partner in LAFC in 2014, when MLS awarded the new club to an ownership group led by Henry Nguyen for a $110M expansion fee. He led an internal buyout alongside fellow investors Bennett Rosenthal and Brandon Beck in 2016, two years before LAFC took the pitch. The club has been among the league’s most successful since its 2018 debut and is consistently ranked among MLS’s two most valuable franchises at more than $1B.

David Nathanson brings a strong background in sports media after spending more than 20 years in the industry, mostly with Fox. He has also been an active investor. In addition to his stake in the Sounders, he was a founding investor in NWSL club Angel City FC and the NHL’s Kraken. His family’s holding company, Mapleton Investments, also manages a West Coast real estate portfolio that it values at more than $710M. Nathanson’s father, David, founded Falcon Cable, which was sold in 1999 for $3.7B.
