Investment Thesis
PRIMARY RI INDEPENDENT. Only RI club with top-tier pathway (MLS Next + GA) and owned facility. Small standalone ($<1M estimated revenue — no 990 confirmed), but strong tuck-in candidate post-NEFC anchor acquisition. Revenue and entity structure need direct confirmation (mixed LLC + foundation structure reported).
Open Questions
- Revenue figure (no 990 located; entity may be LLC)
- Entity structure: LLC vs nonprofit vs hybrid with separate foundation?
- Owned vs leased field at Providence Country Day?
