Alexis Ohanian has suggested that his investments in women's sports have proved to be as difficult as his early days as the Reddit founder. He has indicated that he has plunged over $100 million of his own money into female sports, despite advice from friends and colleagues, and insisted that those investments would bear fruit.

When Ohanian first became involved with Angel FC, he told Forbes.com:

“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.”

This year, Alexis Ohanian attended the Forbes 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi. He said that his Angel FC investment had been highly successful, and that the franchise's value had exploded, per Sportico.com:

"Everyone, from random people on the internet, to other investors, who I respected, they all told me I was going to lose all my money, and it would never work. I'm very happy to prove them wrong. Angel City is now the most valuable team in the world at $300m."

Alexis Ohanian is a serial investor and entrepreneur. The businessman founded his venture capital firm, Seven Seven Six, as the vehicle through which he supports several diverse commercial sectors.
