Founded in 1971. Champions says Powell retains its name following the acquisition. Jason Powell is identified as president and general manager; that title is not proof of an equity interest. The February Blackstone announcement does not by itself establish closing. October 23 correction: HarbourVest’s first-party fund report confirms the sponsor sale completed. The separate operating-brand evidence dates are unchanged.
Ownership sources: US-S002S024US-S015. An observation date is not a guarantee that ownership remains unchanged today.
