Alexis Ohanian and Serena Williams have become L.A.'s premier sports power couple with their investment in Angel City and women's sports in general.
A casual tweet by technology entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian Sr. about wanting to tap the enormous potential value in women’s sports by buying or launching a team — and an invitation from soccer star Alex Morgan to put his money where his heart was — led Ohanian to blend his passion and vision in a way that has changed the Los Angeles sports scene.
During his first NWSL board meeting, the Reddit co-creator told members he’s in the business of creating billion-dollar companies, and if their ambition and motivation weren’t similarly high, they should consider owning something else. “Three years later, it’s a very, very different board,” he said. Ohanian and the Williams sisters also share ownership of LAGC, the Los Angeles franchise of Tiger Woods’ and Rory McIlroy’s TGL golf league, which plans to launch in 2025.
