In July, during the ESPY Awards, Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, talked about his successful investment in Angel City FC.

"I can't comment on the details but in 2019 when I said I was going to start a team, a lot of people said I was going to lose a lot of money," he told Reuters on the red carpet. "I just wonder where they are now."

The Reddit co-founder, a vocal advocate for women's sports, then added:

"This is really just the start. I'm excited to see this continued investment and to keep building Angel City into what I know can be the biggest brand in all of women's professional sports."

Ohanian co-founded Reddit along with his friends in 2005 and helped it become one of the most used social media platforms. After stepping away from the board in 2020, he has invested in several other ventures with a special emphasis on women's sports.

He became a major investor in Angel City FC, which began playing in the NWSL in 2022. Recently, he co-produced an X-exclusive show called 'Offseason,' which follows NWSL stars during their offseason.

A major track and field fan, Ohanian also initiated Athlos NYC. This women-only track event, which held its inaugural edition in September 2024, featured some top athletes.
