Simulate is a food tech company that is aiming to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable nutrition. And certainly, Ohanian, being a tech entrepreneur himself, could relate to the brand Simulate.

It’s not just Ohanian, whom the tennis fans are going to see on a TV commercial, but also the American tennis legend. Williams is not new to featuring in TV commercials, as her recent commercial for the NFL Super Bowl was a hit among the people. However, it didn’t sit well with some tennis fans, as they took offense to Williams starring in a liquor commercial. And some went as far as to question her faith.
