Star sprinter Gabby Thomas celebrates her win at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Thomas is the first athlete to partner with the new Athlos track event In the venture capital world, Alexis Ohanian has built a reputation for identifying potential where others see uncertainty and turning unconventional ideas into industry disruptors. The Reddit cofounder and principal at venture firm 776 has backed over 40 unicorns, including tech giants like Coinbase, Instacart, and Hubspot.
Athlos tackles several key issues in track and field by simplifying the often overwhelming array of events. It focuses on just six track disciplines while creating a Coachella-like experience for fans. More importantly, it's raising the financial stakes, offering a total prize pool of $500,000, with $60,000 going to each event winner—a significant increase from the $30,000 top prize in current elite competitions.
Ohanian's tech background adds another layer to his investment approach."Creating Reddit gave me a front-row seat to building community at scale among strangers on the internet," he explained."And when I look at all my investments in sports now, it feels like we're running a very similar playbook of how to do grassroots community building and how to create those connections online and offline, except it's much easier.
