Josh Harris's Investment Journey

Josh Harris co-founded Apollo, a leading private equity firm, and recently transitioned to his new venture, 26 North, reflecting on his substantial investments in sports and finance. 26 North, named creatively after a failed branding attempt, aims to focus on middle to upper-middle-market investments, emphasizing 'alpha' returns compared to traditional alternatives that tend to be more public and large-scale. Within two years, Harris has successfully raised $23 billion, exceeding expectations, by ensuring alignment with his investors and promoting an investment culture focused on creating value. His experience in both private equity and sports ownership highlights the interconnections between finance and teamwork, where success and accountability are paramount in both arenas.
