Ohanian has consistently championed women's sports. In July 2020, he and his wife, Serena Williams, acquired a stake in NWSL club Angel City FC. Other prominent shareholders include Natalie Portman, Julie Uhrman, Kara Nortman, and Uzo Aduba.

Per his previous statements, Ohanian viewed women's soccer as an undervalued and under-supported sector with significant potential. He saw investing in the Angel City FC, as both a profitable opportunity and a chance to elevate women's sports visibility.

“Women’s soccer, in particular, I believed was tremendously under-resourced, under-marketed, undervalued, underappreciated, under-supported, the list goes on. I saw it first and foremost as a tremendous business opportunity. My north star here is quite simply that this is something that was so obviously good of an investment and I feel great all this other stuff has come from it,” Ohanian told Forbes in October 2022.

Alexis Ohanian has previously shared that a dare from his wife, Serena Williams, while watching the 2019 Women's World Cup final, prompted him to invest in Angel City FC.

Williams and Ohanian married in 2017 and welcomed their elder daughter, Olympia, two months before their wedding. The couple welcomed their younger daughter, Adira River, in August last year.
