Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian seems to be the jack of all trades. He has been a successful entrepreneur and also owns a soccer team, named Angel City FC. However, that is just one part of his life. For him, his family matters the most, as he has reiterated many times. While trying to promote women’s sports to a new level, Ohanian wants to leave an unforgettable legacy for his daughters.

In a talk with American sports journalist Jemele Hill, Ohanian talked about his business ventures and women’s sports. He has stood firm in his commitment to promote women’s sports. But what prompted him to undertake this? What was his motivation behind this journey?

Ohanian opened up about his firm Seven Seven Six, and how he has been riding along the wind. He said, “But started this firm because I wanted to spend the rest of my years building and building in things that I knew are going to provide outsized returns. And the wind has been so at my back since, I just want to keep doubling down especially where there is heat.”

Ohanian loves to build things that provide huge returns. And the biggest motivation behind this is his daughters. He said, “Also make me so proud, especially when my little girls grow up and, you know, saw what I did for a living.” And that’s why whatever he does, Ohanian can’t do it half-heartedly. He further added, “And this is one of those areas where I’m incapable of half-a–ng anything.”

Rightly so, Serena Williams’s husband made good investment choices, aligning with his goal of making women’s sports popular. And after over 5 years of journey, few investment decisions have borne fruits. Ohanian’s Angel City FC’s valuation has skyrocketed to $250 million. But this was just the beginning, as Ohanian has a new goal in sight when it comes to athletics.

Alexis Ohanian’s focus shifts to making Athlos a regular affair

This year has been quite eventful for Alexis Ohanian. After enjoying the Olympics to its fullest, he decided to bring a mini version home for many sports enthusiasts who were unable to watch the action live. What’s more? It was a beautiful mix of athletics and a concert by Meghan-thee-stallion! Athlos in New York City featured the 5-time Olympic medalist, Gabby Thomas, along with other big names. After the success of the first edition, Ohanian wants it to be an annual thing for sports fans around the world.

In the same conversation with Jemele Hill, Ohanian elaborated on his goal. He said, “At a minimum, I want this to be an important part of the New York Sports landscape. It is in the same way that the US Open is one of those must-attend events not just for tennis fans, but for New Yorkers Americans, or International fans. Like it is a marquee event of athletic excellence.”

Serena Williams’ husband certainly knows how to make it better for everyone! Let’s wait and see when he brings on the second edition of Athlos.
