After clinching a 10-year deal that made him electrified, Patrick Mahomes made significant investments out of his $500+ million contract in companies he thought had immense potential. One of them was Whoop, which also got Kevin Durant’s attention. The brand made a breakthrough in 2020 and never hit a downfall. The revolutionary product could soon take over traditional smartphones in the future.

 

Whoop is a wearable device developer that tracks heart rate, sleep patterns, and other health data. Will Ahmed, a Harvard University graduate, had the idea. He desired to understand how to employ technology to aid individuals in developing their wellness, strength, and conditioning. Ahmed, Nicolae, and Capodilupo are co-founders of the privately owned start-up company.

According to Forbes, in 2020, Whoop was worth more than $1 billion. In addition, the company raised $100 million in a Series E funding round, valuing the company at $1.2 billion. The product was distinct from competing products. It lacks a screen, pop-up notifications, and the ability to make phone calls through the device. It solely focuses on health and fitness tracking.

Patrick Mahomes and Kevin Durant plunged in their money and made immense benefits. It also lures in various investors like Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning, Rory McIlroy, and Justin Thomas.
